NEWARK, Del. - - The Wilmington University men's soccer team dropped a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference match to Post, 4-1, on Saturday afternoon at the WU Athletics Complex.

The Eagles (3-2-1, 1-0 CACC) took a 2-0 lead at the halftime break and scored the first four goals of the game. The Wildcats (1-4-1, 1-1 CACC) outshot the Eagles, 10-8, including shots on goal, 7-5, but couldn't find the back of the net until 80th minute.

After the Wildcats forced Post goalkeeper Ricardo Moreno to make a pair of saves in the early and a near miss by Theo Faillon, the Eagles struck on their first shot of the game in the 20th minute. It was Luca Dettoli's third goal of the year, all coming at the WU Athletics Complex.

The Eagles tacked on a goal just before the halftime break as Len Fliss scored his first of the season.

Post got on the board early in the second half as well, getting into the box on the right side in the 49th minute for the 3-0 lead. Francisco Sousa got into the box on the left side in the 65th minute, scoring high to make it 4-0 in favor of the visitors.

Derrick Henry put the Wildcats on the board in the 80th minute, intercepting a pass and going to goal. He poked one under the Eagle goalkeeper as he was coming off his line for his first collegiate career goal.

Theo Faillon had three shots on goal in the game while Jhamaleek Porter had a pair of shots on goal for the Wildcats.

The Wildcats step out of conference play for their next game, as they host Millersville on Wednesday afternoon. The opening whistle is set for 4:00 p.m. at the WU Athletics Complex.
