Reynolds Leads Seahawks Over Delaware

NEWARK, Delaware – Redshirt senior defender Danny Reynolds recorded the first two-goal game of his college career to lead UNCW to its third win in the last four games, a 3-2 Colonial Athletic Association men's soccer victory over Delaware at Grant Stadium on Saturday evening.
 
The win moved the Seahawks' record to 3-2-1 overall and 1-0-1 in the league. Delaware lost its second straight match to drop its record to 1-3-2 overall and 0-1-1 against CAA foes.
 
Reynolds gave the Seahawks a 1-0 lead in the 56th minute when he headed in a free kick from senior midfielder Gabriel Cabral for his first goal of the season.
 
Just over six minutes later, freshman midfielder Colton Pleasants added his first career goal on a 25-yard shot off an assist from junior midfielder Jacob Evans to increase the margin to 2-0.
 
The Blue Hens narrowed the deficit to 2-1 in the 64th minute when sophomore defender Timo Hummrich converted a penalty kick past freshman goalkeeper Gabriel Perrotta.
 
But, Reynolds answered in the 77th minute by netting his second goal of the contest with a 25-yard free kick past sophomore goalkeeper Renan Thomazo.
 
Delaware trimmed the gap to 3-2 with 4:07 left in regulation on an own goal as a free kick was inadvertently headed into the goal by a UNCW defender. The Blue Hens had a pair of opportunities to score the game-tying goal in the closing minutes, but were unable to even the margin.  
 
Perrotta tallied three saves in the victory for the Seahawks, who outshot Delaware by a 13-9 margin. Thomazo authored four saves for the Blue Hens.
 
Game Notes:
  • The Seahawks extended their unbeaten streak against Delaware to four consecutive games, going 3-0-1 over that span … UNCW now leads the all-time series by a 12-5-2 margin.
  • Close games have been routine between UNCW and Delaware as 12 of the last 13 meetings have been decided by one goal or less.
  • After scoring just three goals in their first two games of the season, the Seahawks have now tallied 10 goals in their last four outings, including a trio of three-goal outings.
  • The Seahawks have scored 10 of their 13 goals this season in the second half.
  • UNCW has now won 22 consecutive games when scoring three or more goals.
  • UNCW now has had nine different players score a goal this season after Reynolds and Pleasants registered their first markers in Saturday's win.
  • Reynolds became the first UNCW player to score two goals in a game this season.
Up Next: The Seahawks make a return to non-conference play on Wednesday, Sept. 25, when they travel to Campbell for a 7 p.m. tilt against the Fighting Camels.
