BETHLEHEM, PA -- The University of Delaware field hockey team could not have asked for a better opening game in blanking Lehigh, 5-0, Wednesday afternoon at Goodman Field. Juli Byrd opened the scoring 7:59 into the game off of a feed from Megan Fortunato to give Delaware a 1-0 lead. Fortunato recorded the helper on Delaware's second goal just over five minutes later, passing to Jen Fotiou for the score and a 2-0 advantage. Mia Callahan made it a 3-0 Delaware lead just 40 seconds later with Sara Hills and Rachel Barger assisting. Barger and Fotiou set up Delaware's next goal with 20:35 remaining in the second half as senior Melissa Molloy scored her first collegiate goal to make it 4-0. Megan McGuin's goal off of a feed from freshman Stephanie Dorsch closed out the scoring. Delaware dominated play throughout, outshooting Lehigh, 16-0.
