No. 12 Delaware Returns to Win Column with 4-1 Victory Over Cal
9/27/2019 9:16:00 PM | Field Hockey
NEWARK, Del. – It didn't start out pretty, but in the end No. 12 Delaware registered the 4-1 victory over California Friday evening at Fred P. Rullo Stadium.
The Golden Bears picked up the first goal of the game in the 20th minute before Blue Hens junior Femke Strien countered just three minutes later with her sixth score of the season. Sophomore Grace Hoepfner assisted on the results of a penalty corner.
Sophomore Grace Miller collected her first goal of the season, the eventual game-winner, in the 39th minute to give the Hens the 2-1 advantage.
Delaware continued to put the pressure on in the fourth quarter as freshman Ashlyn Carr put in a rebound shot for her third goal of the year while Strien notched the final tally in the 57th minute with an impressive fast break from midfield.
Redshirt senior Sydney Rhodes logged one save in 54-plus minutes of action while sophomore Lizzie Gaebel made her season debut and added a save of her own.
