NORFOLK, VA -- No. 13 ranked Old Dominion University held a 24-7 advantage in shots and scored a goal in each half on its way to downing the University of Delaware, 2-0, in the Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams.

Zachary Kinney and Edson Elcock each scored a goal for ODU, while Jonathan Curry-Edwards made 11 saves in his debut for the Hens.

The Monarchs (6-1, 1-0 CAA) took the lead with under 15 minutes remaining in the first half when Kinney took a pass from A.J. Kulp and beat Edwards with the first goal of the game.

Just over 20 minutes into the second half, Elcock gave the Monarchs a 2-0 lead when he was sent in on a break on the Blue Hen net by a pass from Trevor Banks.

Curry-Edwards kept the Hens in the game by making 11 saves, a season-high for a Delaware goalkeeper.

The Hens will return to action on Sunday when they travel to Williamsburg to take on the College of William & Mary at 2 p.m.
