Overtime, in CAA Tournament
Semifinals
WILLIAMSBURG,
VA (November 6, 2004)-- Senior
Lauren Carr (West Chester, PA/Downingtown)
scored off a cross from Amanda Warrington
(Lewes, DE/Cape Henlopen) with 2:58
remaining in the first overtime period to
give the No. 17 University of Delaware
field hockey team a 2-1 win over
eight-time defending league champion Old
Dominion in the Colonial Athletic
Association Tournament Semifinals Saturday
afternoon on the campus of William &
Mary.
The
Blue Hens, who were the third seed in the
tournament and improved to 14-6, advance
to their second consecutive CAA Touranment
Final on Sunday, when they will face
fourth-seeded Hofstra at 1 p.m, also in
Williamsburg, VA. The Pride, which fell to
Delaware, 3-2 in overtime, in the teams'
regular season meeting, upset top-seeded
William & Mary, 1-0 in overtime, in
the day's first semifinal.
Eighth-ranked
Old Dominion (13-7) struck first with 3:13
remaining in the first half on an
unassisted goal by Caroline Nichols, but
Delaware answered with just 17 seconds
left in the period when Leah Geib
(Schwenksville, PA/Souderton) collected a
rebound off a shot by Erica LaBar (New
Castle, DE/William Penn) and scored to tie
the game.
After
an evenly-played but scoreless second
half, Carr scored her ninth goal of the
season off a cross from Warrington to give
the Blue Hens the dramatic overtime win.
Megan Allen (Virginia Beach,
VA/Kempsville) made four saves in the
Delaware goal, while Mary Cate Gordon also
stopped four shots for Old Dominion, which
out-shot the Blue Hens 12-8 and held a
13-4 edge in penalty corners.
The
Blue Hens, who have qualified for their
conference tournament in each of the last
nine seasons, will look to advance to the
NCAA Division I Tournament for the third
time in program history and the first time
since 1998. The 1982 Delaware squad also
advanced to the tournament, while four
Blue Hen teams appeared in the AIAW
National Tournament.
The
win over Old Dominion was the first ever
by Delaware, which entered this
afternoon's game 0-4-1 all-time against
the Monarchs. Old Dominion defeated
Delaware, 5-0, in last season's
championship game and posted a 3-2 victory
at Rullo Stadium in this year's regular
season matchup.
