ELON, N.C. – Elon held Delaware without a goal for more than 38 minutes Friday evening as the Phoenix handed the Hens their fourth straight one-goal loss with a 5-4 overtime decision at Rudd Field.
Delaware led by a score of 4-0 with just over five minutes remaining in the first half before giving up five straight Elon goals, including the game-winner from Shelby Scanlin with 2:30 remaining in overtime.
Sophomore Becky Gohsler (Mendham, N.J./West Morris Mendham) led the Hens (8-5, 0-2 CAA) with two goals to go along with two groundballs and a draw control.
Senior Kara Dattellas (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) and junior Coley Ricci (Garnet Valley, Pa./Garnet Valley) each added a goal of their own while senior Shannon Hawley (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) dished out an assist.
Sophomore Taylor Carpentier (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) picked up a team-best four groundballs while Ricci notched three. Carpentier was credited with the loss in the cage despite grabbing nine saves.
