Scott Grzenda. “It was nice to come out and work as hard as we did and come back twice to put them away tonight. When you have 14 shots it means you've created a lot of opportunities. Emily was able to keep the ball low (on the winning shot), put pressure on the keeper, and it went in.”

Delaware jumped out to a 1-0 lead on senior Rachel Vaccaro's (at left) first career goal just 18:08 into the game but Monmouth came back to tie the game on a goal by Alexa Freguletti with just under five minutes remaining in the half.

The Hens went up again 2-1 on a goal by Natalie Zelenky off a feed from Andi Arnold just 6:38 into the second half, but the Hawks answered once again when Freguletti connected on a penalty kick with 28:13 remaining.

Hen Scratchings: Market's goal was her fifth career score...Arnold dished out two assists, having also helped on Market's game-winner...Delaware sophomore goalkeeper Kailyn Rekos posted two saves and picked up the win in her first career start...Delaware returns to action Sunday at St. Francis (Pa.) at 12 noon.
