The University of Delaware men’s lacrosse team made program history Saturday afternoon, capturing their inaugural Atlantic 10 Conference win with a commanding 12-6 victory over the Hobart Statesmen at Delaware Stadium in Newark.
Leading the charge for the Blue Hens was Keegan Lathrop, who delivered a standout performance by netting four goals – the most he’s scored in a single game during his collegiate career. The milestone victory moves Delaware’s record to 3-7 overall and 1-2 in Atlantic 10 play.
The Fightin’ Blue Hens dominated throughout the contest against Hobart, which saw their record fall to 2-8 overall and 0-3 in conference competition. Saturday’s triumph represents a significant breakthrough for Delaware’s lacrosse program as they continue building their presence in the Atlantic 10.
The decisive win at home gives the Blue Hens momentum as they work to establish themselves as competitors in their relatively new conference affiliation. Lathrop’s explosive offensive showing proved to be the difference-maker in what became a historic afternoon for Delaware athletics.
