SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The Seton Hall men’s soccer team (0-2-1) returns to the pitch on Wednesday night with its second-straight home match when it welcomes Delaware (1-1-1) to Owen T. Carroll Field. Kick-off in the ninth iteration of the Pirate-Blue Hen all-time series is set for 7 p.m. and can be seen on the Pirate Sports Network and heard on WSOU.net.
The Hall is coming off a 2-1 defeat against Rider in its home opener, conceding twice in the final four minutes as the Broncs pulled off a stunner on Friday night. Samuel Geiler (Offenberg, Germany) got the scoring stated for Seton Hall, connecting on his first goal of the year and 10th career tally in the contest’s 25th minute. Geiler is one of three Pirates to find the back of the net this season, joined by Eric Lagg (Lafayette, N.J.) and Nick Najera (Laguna Hills, Calif.) with a goal each.

Upset Bid at No. 21 Delaware Falls Short
The Seton Hall University men's soccer team saw its upset bid at No. 21 Delaware fall short as the Blue Hens struck twice in a span of just 38 seconds to come back to beat the Pirates, 3-2, on Wednesday night. Victor Manosalvas and Kai Green each scored for The Hall.
Recap | Box Score
The Blue Hens are 1-1-1 on the young season, defeating Central Arkansas and drawing Fairfield opening weekend before a 2-1 overtime setback to Villanova on Saturday. Guillermo Delgado leads the Hens with a pair of goals, while Jaime Martinez and Carlos Perales have also tallied. Joe Dipre is tops on the squad with two assists, while Todd Morton and Blai Palmi have combined for a 1.19 GAA and a .765 save percentage in goal.
The Pirates and Hens met four times from 1938-1941, not meeting again for 70 years until rekindling the series in 2011. Since the series restart, The Hall is 2-1-1 against Delaware. Last year the then-No. 21 Blue Hens secured a 3-2 victory at home, while the last meeting in South Orange was a dramatic 5-4 overtime victory for the Pirates. Danny Bartok (Union, N.J.) scored twice for The Hall before assisting on a Geiler winner with three seconds to play.
The Delaware contest concludes a brief two-game home-stand for the Pirates, before The Hall heads to Bucknell on Sunday, Sept. 13. It also marks the last non-conference home match of the season, with the next regular season contest at Owen T. Carroll Field coming on Sept. 26 against newly-anointed No. 1 Creighton to open BIG EAST play.
