Chris Jones

9:54 a.m., Sept. 28, 2005--Rider University scored late in the first half for a 1-0 victory over the University of Delaware in a men’s soccer match played Tuesday night at the Delaware Mini-Stadium.

Rider junior Tim Jones headed home a shot on a corner kick by Evan Lubcher with 2:23 left in the first half for the only goal of the game.

UD’s best chance came with less than five minutes remaining when Matt Laudeman’s shot sailed past the Rider goalkeeper and just wide of the far post. Laudeman, Anthony Talarico, Sobhan Tadjalli and T.C. Young had three shots each for the Fightin’ Blue Hens.

UD freshman goalkeeper Chris Jones had five saves.

With the loss, UD fell to 1-4-2. The Hens will return to action Friday when they face Northeastern University in a Colonial Athletic Association contest at the Delaware Mini-Stadium. Game time is set for 7 p.m. Northeastern is 1-5-1.

UD will continue CAA play with a game at Hofstra University at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 2. Hofstra is 5-2-1.
