NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware women's cross country squad will return home for its second meet of the year at White Clay Creek State Park as the Blue Hens host the annual Blue & Gold Invitational Saturday morning.

Delaware will be hosting its second home meet of the season after placing second in the team standings out of 11 teams at the Delaware Invitational on Sept. 12. In that meet, Delaware junior Betsy Erlanger took individual honors. The Hens are the three-time defending team champions of the Blue & Gold Invitational.
