Blue Hens Fall to Unbeaten North Carolina 5-1 in Field Hockey

Date: September 10, 2004

NEWARK, DE-- Senior Kelsey Keeran scored three goals, including two within a nine-minute span early in the contest, as unbeaten North Carolina defeated the University of Delaware 5-1 in a non-league field hockey game Friday afternoon at Rullo Stadium.

Keeran, the Tar Heels' leading scorer with seven goals for the season, scored just five minutes into the game and added her second goal at the 13:56 mark as North Carolina moved out to the big lead and never looked back. She completed the hat trick with the game's final goal with 14:16 left to play.

North Carolina improved to 5-0 on the season while the Blue Hens, who had won three straight, fell to 3-2 on the season. The game was the first between the two perennial top 20 teams since 1997.

Delaware got its only goal from senior All-American Jessi Balmer (Christopher Dock/Telford, PA), who scored her first goal of the season unassisted with 16:35 left to play to cut the lead to 4-1.

Anne Marie Janus and Rachel Dawson added the other North Carolina goals while Laura Douglas and Laree Beans each contributed two assists each. North Carolina held a 16-4 advantage in shots and a 9-1 edge in corners.

Delaware goalkeeper Megan Allen recorded five saves.

Delaware will take a week off before returning to action next Friday, Sept. 17, to host Saint Joseph's at 7 p.m. as part of a five-game homestand at Rullo Stadium.
