NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware will webcast its first-ever
live men’s lacrosse home game on the internet Saturday when the Blue
Hens take on No. 11 ranked UMBC at 1 p.m. at Rullo Stadium.
University of Delaware Media Services will produce the match-up and
former Blue Hen players Evan Crowther-Washburn and Brett Manney, both
standouts on the 2007 UD team that advanced to the NCAA Final Four, will
provide the commentary. Manney broadcasted numerous UD football and
basketball games on student station WVUD while an undergraduate.
The game will be available free of charge on the University of Delaware
athletics website at www.bluehens.com/mens_lacrosse. Click on the “Live
Video” link at the right. Fans can also access the game directly from
the UD webcast page at www.udel.edu/UMS/udlive/. Live updated statistics
for all UD home games are also always available at
www.bluehens.com/sportsinfo/livestats/m_lax/xlive.htm.
Plans to webcast additional UD home men’s lacrosse games during the
season have not been finalized.
The Blue Hens (1-0), who are looking to start the season 2-0 for the
sixth straight year, enter the game coming off a 13-2 non-league win
over Saint Joseph’s last Saturday as All-American and pre-season
Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year Curtis Dickson led the
way with four goals and Martin Cahill and Pat Lombard each scored twice.
Goalkeeper Noah Fossner posted nine saves in his first collegiate start
in goal.
UMBC (0-0) will be playing its earliest season opener in school history
and will be looking to continue its winning ways after advancing to the
NCAA Tournament for the second straight season in 2008. The Retrievers
returns nine starters from last year’s team that posted a record 12-4,
won 11 straight games at one point, and captured the America East
conference title. UMBC is led on offense by Ryan Smith and Matt Latham
who each scored 29 goals a year ago and by goalkeeper Jeremy Blevins.
The Hens have defeated UMBC each of the last two seasons, posting a 10-6
win in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals in 2007 and 15-7 last season in
a game played at Neptune Beach, Fla. as part of the Wounded Warrior
Classic. Delaware has won three straight overall and six of the last
seven in the series. The Retrievers’ last win over Delaware was 13-8 win
in 2003.
