Sept. 26, 1999 Boston University 4, Delaware 1
NEWARK, DE - A three-goal outburst in the second half propelled Boston University to a 4-1 victory over Delaware in field hockey action at Rullo Stadium Sunday afternoon. The loss was Delaware's fourth straight and dropped them to 3-5 overall, 0-2 in America East. Boston University, ranked No. 15 in last week's NFHCA Top 20 poll, raised its record to 6-1, 3-0 in conference play. The Terriers took a 1-0 lead into halftime thanks to a goal by Samantha Stuart. Stuart scored off of a penalty corner 5:11 into the game with assists by Kate Cusick and Jaclyn Mele. The score could have been more as Boston University had a 12-1 advantage in penalty corners in the first half. However, Delaware goalkeeper Kelly Ottati recorded six saves in keeping it a one-goal game. She finished the day with 14 saves. Delaware tied the game early in the second half on a penalty stroke by Mia Callahan. The goal was Callahan's third of the season. The Terriers retook the lead, however, a little more than five minutes later when Mele scored off of a scramble in front of the goal following a penalty corner. Delaware had a chance to tie with 16:24 remaining when Callahan lined-up for another penalty stroke. However, her try went wide of the net and the momentum swung back in Boston University's favor. With that, Angela Jamieson added two insurance goals four minutes apart to keep the Terriers perfect in conference action. Boston University held a 23-7 advantage in shots, but several of those shots on net came after the teams had clear their benches. Delaware will play host to No. 14 Princeton Wednesday at Rullo Stadium. Game time is 7 p.m.
