Delaware Battles to 1-1 Tie at Lehigh

BETHLEHEM, PA (Oct. 12, 2004) -- A goal by sophomore Sal Tadjalli (Hockessin, DE/ C.W. Baker-at right) with just 1:25 remaining in regulation evened the score as the University of Delaware men's soccer team tied Lehigh, 1-1, on Tuesday evening. The tie snaps a three-game losing streak for the Blue Hens (3-7-1).

Lehigh(7-3-2) got on the board first as the Mountain Hawks' Jim Stevens took a Kyle Hartman pass and ripped it home just 5:50 into the game. Both teams were able to produce nine shots in the first half, while the Blue Hens held a 3-0 advantage on corner kicks.

The second half continued to be a battle as both teams fought for control of the match. Delaware finally got even as Tadjalli took a lead pass from fellow sophomore Anthony Pezza (Jackson, NJ/ St. Benedict's) and banged it home for his second goal of the year.

The shots were even at four for both overtime periods as neither team was able to capitalize on its chances.

Senior Kyle Haynes (St. Michael's, MD/ St. Michael's) logged all 110 minutes in goal for the Blue Hens making 11 saves. Haynes is now just 49 minutes shy of breaking Joaquin Hurtado's school record of 6,169 minutes played by a goalkeeper in their career set from 1995-98. Sam Bishop and Charlie Sales split time in goal for Lehigh making six saves combined.

The Blue Hens return to action on Friday evening when they host William & Mary, at Delaware Mini-Stadium at 7 p.m.
