Delaware Falls to No. 28 New Mexico 3-2 at VCU Tournament

RICHMOND, VA (September 3, 2004)-- Jeff Rowland's hat trick was all No. 28 ranked New Mexico needed as it defeated the University of Delaware men's soccer team by a 3-2 score on Friday night in the first round of the Virginia Commonwealth Tournament.

The Blue Hens (0-2) took the lead early in this one as, freshman Sobhan Tadjalli (Hockessin, DE/ A.I. DuPont)put a shot just inside the left post at the 6:48 mark. Tadjalli's goal, the first of his college career and was assisted by Tau Blau (Staten Island, NY/ Susan Wagner) and Richard Zeller (Narberth, PA/ Haverford - at right).

Delaware was not done yet as one minute later the Hens struck again, this time for a team- credited goal and the 2-0 lead. New Mexico would tally one of their own in the first half as Rowland found the net off a pass from Hans Bevers.

The second half was Rowland's show as he placed one inside the left post for his second of the game, this time from Ben Ashwill with 32 minutes showing on the clock. A little less than 10 minutes later, Rowland was awarded a penalty kick and stroked it home to complete the hat trick and give the Lobos the win.

Delaware senior Kyle Haynes (St. Michael's MD/ St. Michael's) made seven saves in goal while New Mexico's Andrew Weber was forced to make two. New Mexico out shot the Blue Hens by a 25-5 margin.

Delaware returns to action on Sunday when the Blue Hens will take on LaSalle at 3:30 pm as their second game in the Virginia Commonwealth Tournament.
