Michigan (3-5) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and saw the score knotted at 4-4 after the end of a quarter. U-M went 7-of-9 at the dot in the first quarter, keyed by a 6-of-10 effort from junior FOGO Matt Dellacroce. However, he sustained an injury early in the second quarter and was unable to participate in the rest of the contest. Michigan went 8-of-21 at the dot with Delaware (7-2) built up a 5-4 lead at the 14:07 mark of the second before sophomore Alex Buckanavage tied the game up at 5-5 with 10:20 left in the quarter. The Blue Hens built a 10-6 lead with 1:19 to go in the half, but Michigan closed with a pair of scores from Buckanavage and junior Avery Myers with one second left in the half to trail 10-8 after two quarters. U-M crept within a goal at the 14:38 portion of the third on a goal by senior Decker Curran, but the Blue Hens rattled off four straight goals to build up a 14-9 lead with 5:37 to go in the third and never looked back. With 3:58 remaining, freshman Javon Johnson scored his second goal of the contest to cut the Blue Hen lead to three but the Wolverines were unable to inch closer, ultimately falling by the 16-13 scoreline. Both Myers and Buckanavage led U-M in goals with three, while Curran led the Wolverines with five points, including a career-high four assists. Junior Finn Goonan had a team-high six groundballs, while freshman close defender Andrew Darby had four pickups. Johnson, seeing the first extended action of his U-M carer, marked two scores on three shots.
