Let's just deal with what we know: Delaware is known for a student body that is comprised of a very large number of very attractive girls, crazy ex-girlfriends, a dumb school mascot (Blue Hen..), Joe Flacco and no sales tax. What Delaware in NOT known for is a historically successful men's soccer program in the CAA, especially aganst Drexel - even Delaware knows this, in fact the most useful thing (I say "useful" lightly..) from the Delaware website was the historical tidbit that Drexel is 35-18-6 against Delaware since 1947. Usually anyones first answer to "Who is the worst team in the conference?" is almost always "Delaware." What Delaware has been known to do on occasion is knick a win from whoever is at the top of the conference near the end of the season. We also know that in a CAA where only the top 4 teams out of 12 make it to the post season CAA Tournament.
So... Losing to a historically beatable Delaware 2-1 Wednesday night and dropping to 2-3 in the CAA does not make things easy for Drexel, that we know for sure. The boys are very close to needing to win out in the remaining 7 CAA games the next few weeks in order to secure a top 4 playoff spot. Bright side is Nate Baker picked up another goal (header on a corner served by Manny "Pacquiao" Cazares), that makes 3 goals in 3 games for Baker who has been carrying a large load of the goal scoring for Drexel this season.
