William & Mary
Heartbreak Hits Blue Hens Again as William & Mary Scores Late for 2-1 Victory
10/14/2016 10:04:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Scott Grzenda, whose squad is still in the running for one of six spots in the CAA Tournament but will likely need to win each of its final two games vs. Elon (Sunday) and Drexel (Oct. 23). “There was never a doubt that they were going to give everything they had for each other.”
Delaware lost in the final minutes of regulation or overtime for an incredible fifth time this season.
The Tribe outshot the Blue Hens by a 21-11 margin and had a 4-2 advantage on corner kicks. Delaware goalkeeper Kailyn Rekos kept the Blue Hens in the game with 11 saves, one shy of her season-high.
The Tribe got on the board just 98 seconds into the game when they were credited with an own goal when William & Mary sent the ball into the box and an errant clear by the Delaware defender sent the ball into the Blue Hen goal.
That William & Mary lead would hold up until the midway part of the second half when Zelenky, the Hens' leading scorer, tallied her team-high sixth goal of the season off a feed from freshman Jillian Vassallo.
HEN SCRATCHINGS
• Zelenky, a three-time All-CAA selection, has now scored a goal in six of the last nine games and has 25 career goals, good for No. 7 all-time at Delaware with Amy Picard (2007-11) and one shy of No. 6 (Fran Termini with 26 in 2000-03).
• Rekos now has a CAA-leading 99 saves on the season, tied for the fourth most in a season in UD history
• Delaware has lost eight games by a single goal this season
• William & Mary leads the all-time series with the Blue Hens by a 13-2-3 margin with four straight victories
