NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware women's soccer team returns home this weekend to host Princeton and Loyola (Md.) in a pair of matches at Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium.
The Blue Hens will host the Tigers on Friday at 7 p.m., before welcoming the Greyhounds to Newark on Sunday at 7 p.m. Live stats will be available for both matches.
Delaware enters the weekend looking for its first victory of the season, after dropping its opening four matches. The Blue Hens fell to Saint Joseph's, 2-1 in overtime, in a heartbreaker during Sunday's home opener.
Freshman Dani Kabat has scored two goals to lead the UD attack this season, while Jillian Vassallo has also scored a goal and three players have tallied an assist. Goalkeeper Kailyn Rekos has played all four matches in the Blue Hen goal, making 29 saves and posting a 2.68 goals against average.
Princeton has opened its season with a pair of home victories, as the Tigers posted a 3-1 triumph over Fordham and a 1-0 verdict over Villanova. Tyler Lussi and Mimi Asom have each recorded two goals and an assist for Princeton, while Natalie Grossi has allowed just one goal in the two contests. The Tigers are the defending Ivy League champions and posted a victory in last year's NCAA tournament.
Loyola is 3-0-1 heading into its Friday home match against Cornell, opening the year with wins over Mount St. Mary's, UMBC and St. Francis (Pa.) before drawing St. John's. Nicole Wahlig, Julianna Cabrera and Maddie Hart have each scored twice in the early going for Loyola, which is undefeated through its first four matches for the first time in school history.
Delaware and Princeton have split four all-time matches, while the Blue Hens posted a 1-0 victory at Princeton last year on a goal by Michelle McEnroe. UD leads the all-time series with Loyola, 7-4, including last season's 2-1 overtime win in Baltimore behind two goals from Natalie Zelenky.
