He had a goal and an assist for three points against the Raiders. Delhommelle scored Syracuse's first goal off a free kick from 20 yards out. He then assisted on the Orange's second goal when he served the ball into the box on a corner kick where Johannes Pieles headed it into the back of the net.

Delhommelle leads the team in assists with five and is second in scoring with nine points.
