Games to Circle

2/13 vs Villanova: The Blue Hens open the season at home against Villanova in the first of four non-conference contests. Villanova holds a 12-7 series lead and has won the past three contests, which includes a 19-10 victory last season. Delaware’s last victory over Villanova came in 2017 in a 13-10 contest.

3/13 & 4/10 @/vs Drexel: One of three CAA teams that the Blue Hens will play twice, Delaware and Drexel will go at it in mid March and again in Mid April. Both sitting in that upper middle tier of the conference and brining back some talented players, including fifth-year guys, both of these contests could be very impactful as far as the postseason seeding is concerned. Delaware has only beaten Drexel twice in the past eight full seasons, which includes a 17-8 victory in 2018 and 15-13 win in 2019.

4/30 vs UMass: The Blue Hens haven’t beaten UMass, who many have as the CAA favorite, since 2016. But their past three meetings (2017, 2018, 2019) have been very tight contests. Their last meeting in 2019 saw UMass eek out an 11-9 victory with two late goals.
