Delhi jumped out to an early lead with a goal in the 4th minute from a solo senior Anthony Cuellar (Liberty, NY) effort. He fought off a defender to break away and then beat the Canton keeper to put the Broncos ahead for his third goal of the year.
-
They added to their total just two minutes later in the 6th minute when freshman Jaquan Williams (Hempstead, NY) introduced himself to the team with an excellent through ball to junior forward Michael Williams Jr., (Lake Grove, NY)who fired the ball past the keeper with a one-timed shot from just inside the box.
