Blau, Tadjalli Lead Blue Hen Men's Soccer Over Hofstra, 2-1

HEMPSTEAD, NY (October 22, 2004) -- University of Delaware freshman Tau Blau (Staten Island, NY/Susan Wagner) scored just 24 seconds into the match and fellow newcomer Sobhan Tadjalli (Hockessin, DE/A.I. duPont) - right - added an insurance goal as the Blue Hen men's soccer team held on to defeat Hofstra, 2-1, Friday night.

Blau scored his first career goal when he collected a Hofstra clear and drilled a shot from 25 yards out into the upper left corner of the goal in the first minute for Delaware, which snapped a six-match winless streak to improve to 4-9-1 overall and 1-5 in the Colonial Athletic Association.

Tadjalli scored from six yards out off an assist from freshman T.C. Young (Pittsburgh, PA/Fox Chapel Area) to put the Blue Hens up by two with 28:43 remaining in the match. The goal was the 11th of the season for Tadjalli, setting a new freshman record for goals in a season. Tadjalli, who has now scored 11 of Delaware's 23 goals this year, had been tied with John McCloskey, who scored 10 goals during the 1975 season.

The Pride got on the board with 2:13 remaining when Chris Cox headed home a corner kick by Tim Kenney but could not get the equalizer, falling to 5-8-1 overall and 1-3-1 in the league.

Delaware senior goalkeeper Kyle Haynes (St. Michael's, MD/St. Michael's) made a season-high 13 saves for the Blue Hens, who were out-shot by Hofstra, 21-14. The Pride also held a 10-2 advantage in corner kicks but fell to Delaware for the first time since the 1999 season.

Haynes has now made 327 career saves, fourth all-time at Delaware and just 16 short of Joaquin Hurtado, who sits in third place with 343 career saves.

The Blue Hens travel to Drexel Sunday for a 1 p.m. match with the Dragons.
