have done at this point of the season —
they lost to a team behind them in the
standings. Exeter lost Friday's home
game to the Delhi Athletics 3-2. .

away and made no mistake tucking the
ball behind the Delhi keeper.
With the game knotted at 1-1 after the
first half, Delhi took their first lead in
the second.
The Cents evened the score at 2-2
when Mark Lynn was taken down. in
Delhi's penalty area and Dave Farquhar
blasted the penalty shot past the Delhi
keeper.
Delhi s'Core4 the winning goal with
three minutes left In the _game.
The loss drops Exeter's record in the
First Division to 5-3-3 and 18 points.
Losing to a team farther down in the
standings means the top two clubs can
distance themselves from the
Centennials.
"That game we had to win," Cents
coach John Rasenberg said. "We have to
regroup and go back to our defensive
play we played in the first part of the
season."
Exeter is due to play in the First
Division League Cup game sometime
this month, though it hasn't been sched-
uled yet. The Cents have a long layoff till
their next regular league game which is
