Holy Cross beat Delaware 4-0 in regulation, a shutout built on a two-goal first period that the Blue Hens never answered. The Crusaders scored in all three periods and never trailed.
The opening frame went 2-0 to the hosts and effectively set the terms. Holy Cross added one in the second to lead 3-0 after 40 minutes, then closed it out with another in the third for the 4-0 final.
The number that matters is the zero: Delaware were held off the scoresheet through all three periods. Holy Cross's even goal distribution — 2-0, 1-0, 1-0 — reflects a lead managed rather than defended.
