WASHINGTON, D.C. – Up by one at halftime, Delaware posted a solid second half of action early Friday evening as the Blue Hens opened 2016 with a 10-6 victory over the Hoyas at Georgetown's Cooper Field.
In total, the Hens (1-0) had eight different players tally a goal while senior Casey Lyons (Georgetown, Ontario, Canada/Berkshire) led the squad with four points on two goals and two assists.
Junior Kirsten Hale (Malvern, Pa./Great Valley) tied a career-high with two goals in addition to picking up two groundballs and a draw control.
Senior Ali Karwoski (Malvern, Pa./Great Valley) collected a game-best four groundballs while classmate Erin Wein (Middletown, Md./Middletown) caused three Hoya turnovers. Fellow senior Kara Dattellas (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) posted two draw controls for Delaware.
Sophomore Taylor Carpentier (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) earned the win in her Blue Hens debut in the cage after recording eight saves.
Corinne Etchison guided Georgetown (0-1) with four points on two goals and two assists while Morgan Rubin registered two goals and Frances Whitehurst dished out two assists.
“It takes a team effort to beat a good team. I am proud of the speed and grit our team showed from start to finish today. Our goal was to play inspired, compete on the draw, post a stalwart defensive performance and have multiple threats and finishers on the attack. It was great to have eight people contribute points and fantastic that our defense held a good Georgetown attack to six goals.”
