NEWARK, DEL. -- The NJIT men's lacrosse team closed the longest road stretch of the season with a 13-1 loss to the Delaware Blue Hens Saturday afternoon at Delaware Stadium.

Senior Ryan Kaden and freshman Owen Corry connected for NJIT's only goal of the day, tying the contest at 1-1 with 8:18 left in the first quarter on Kaden's fifth score of the year and Corry's second career assist.

Kaden, along with senior Matthew Bowerman, led NJIT (1- 3) with three ground balls. Senior John Tachon paced the Highlanders with four caused turnovers and freshman Liam Brown matched former Highlander Alexzander Hunt (at No. 13 Lehigh, 2/2/19) for the fifth-highest single-game save total in school history (19). Brown's save total is also currently tied for third-most in a game nationally. 

Despite Brown's efforts, the Highlanders were unable to take advantage of a closely played first quarter (2-1) and allowed 12 unanswered goals in the final three periods.
