Delaware Falls to UNC Wilmington, 3-0

NEWARK, DE (October 31, 2004)-- UNC Wilmington's Russell Bienias scored just 19 minutes into the match and the Seahawks held on for the 3-0 win over the University of Delaware men's soccer team on Sunday afternoon in Colonial Athletic Association action. The loss was the third straight for the Blue Hens (4-12-1, 1-8 CAA) and was their final home game of the 2004 season.

Before the game, the team honored seniors Adam Flanigan (Newark, DE/ St. Mark's), Richard Zeller ( Narberth, PA/ Haverford), and Kyle Haynes (St. Michael's, MD/ St. Michael's-at right).

Bienias' goal came off the rebound from a Keith Shevlin shot and gave UNC Wilmington (11-5-1, 5-3 CAA) the early lead. The goal was Bienias' team leading sixth goal of the year.

The Blue Hens had an opportunity in the first half as Adam Smith (Wilmington, DE/ St. Mark's) had a shot sail just wide of the net.

The Seahawks put their second goal of the game on the board, 17 minutes into the second half as Chris Murray took a pass from Columb Grant and fired the ball into the back of the net from 10 yards out.

Sam Leger tallied the final goal of the game in the 74th minute, as it was again Shevlin with the helper.

Sobhan Tadjalli (Hockessin, DE/ A.I. duPont) had two good shots in the second half, as one sailed over the top of the net and Seahawks goalie Brad Knighton was just able to corral the second ball.

Haynes made seven saves in the game for the Blue Hens. The seven saves allow Haynes to move into third place on the Delaware career saves list with 346. Knighton registered five saves in net for the Seahawks. UNC Wilmington finished the game, outshooting the Blue Hens, 14-9.
