NEWARK, DE -- On the strength of a four-goal first half, Delaware defeated Hofstra, 4-0, in field hockey action Sunday afternoon at Rullo Stadium. The Blue Hens, who have won four straight and five of their last six, got on the board 8:26 into the game when Megan McGuin deflected a ball from Stephanie Dorsch into the back of the net for her second goal of the season and a 1-0 lead. Senior Rachel Barger gave Delaware a 2-0 lead with 14:12 remaining in the half when she scored off a Sara Hills pass. The goal was Barger's fourth of the season and gave the Springfield, VA native 50 points for her career. Just 2:28 later, Dorsch, a freshman from Wilmington, DE, scored her first collegiate goal unassisted to make it a 3-0 game. Mia Callahan closed the scoring just three seconds before intermission with a nifty backhand shot for her sixth goal of the season. Kelly Ottati recorded two saves in her sixth shutout of the season. The senior from Hampton Bays, NY has now allowed just two goals in the last six games. Delaware outshot Hofstra, 23-3, for the game. With the loss, Hofstra dropped to 3-13, 1-6 in America East. Delaware (8-8, 3-2) will take to the road Wednesday to face Lafayette at 3 p.m.
