NEWARK, Del. -- Freshman forward Andy Streilein, who led the Blue Hen men's soccer game to its biggest win of the season Saturday against Virginia Commonwealth, is the Wilmington Trust Best of the Blue Hens Athlete of the Week for the period ending November 2.

Streilein is a freshman business major from Rockville, Md. and attended Thomas S. Wooton High School.

Streilein scored a little over three minutes into the overtime period to give Delaware a 1-0 victory over conference foe Virginia Commonwealth University as part of Senior Day Saturday night at the Delaware Mini-Stadium. This was the first time the Blue Hens beat VCU in seven all-time meetings.

Delaware (3-12-3, 2-7-1 CAA) was outshot 19-12, but the Blue Hens made it count. Just a little over three minutes into the overtime, Demar Stephenson sent a corner kick into the box, the ball was deflected off a VCU defender and Streilein was at the right place at the right time to put it in and give the Hens their second conference win. The goal was the team-leading fourth of the season for Streilein.
