PHILADELPHIA -- Sophomore Andy
Hipple scored all three of his goals and dished out an
assist in the second quarter as the University of Delaware
jumped out to a 12-1 lead and held off a late Saint Joseph's
charge to post a 16-9 non-league men's lacrosse victory in
the season opener for both teams Saturday at the University
of Pennsylvania's Franklin Field.
Hipple was one of 10 Delaware players to
score a goal as the Blue Hens (1-0) won their season opener
for the first time since 1999 and downed the Hawks (0-1) for
the third time without a loss. The game was switched to
Franklin Field from Delaware's Rullo Stadium after last
week's snow made the Hens' field unplayable. The game was
played with temperatures near 10 degrees.
Senior Matt Alrich added three
goals and two assists, pre-season All-American Ryan
Metzbower added two goals and one assist, Bob
Meunier scored twice, and freshman Xander Ritz
added a goal and three assists in his collegiate debut to
lead the Hens. The Hens are coming off a 3-11 season a year
ago.
Saint Joseph's, which went 4-10 last
season, fell behind 12-1 early in the third quarter and
could never catch up despite outscoring the Hens 8-4 over
the game's final 27 minutes. Alex Heidenberger led the Hawks
with three goals while Keegan Wilkinson dished out seven
assists.
Delaware sophomore goalkeeper Chris
Collins posted the win and had 12 saves in his first career
start as the Hens outshot Saint Joseph's 44-34. Hawks backup
goalkeeper Dan Morrissey entered the game early in the third
quarter and was outstanding, posting nine saves and allowing
just four goals.
Delaware jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the
first eight minutes of the game before Saint Joseph's got on
the board on a goal by Brian Ponne with 2:43 left in the
opening quarter. But the Hens then exploded by scoring two
goals in the final two minutes of the first quarter and
outscored Saint Joseph's 6-0 in the second quarter to take a
10-1 lead at halftime. The Hens then scored two goals in the
first two minutes of the third quarter to go up 12-1.
Saint Joseph's rallied behind the passing
of Wilkinson, scoring the final five goals of the third
quarter to pull to within 12-6. But Delaware stopped the run
in the final quarter as Ritz fed Alrich and Anthony
Benazzi for goals to up the lead to Blue Hens lead to
14-6.
