COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Rachel Hiskins scored two second-half goals and assisted on another tally as No. 4 Maryland shutout Delaware, 4-0, in field hockey action at Artificial Turf Field Tuesday night.

Senior goalkeeper Kelly Ottati's 12 saves kept Delaware in the game for much of the night, despite being outshot badly. The Terps (8-1) outshot Delaware, 29-3, for the game and held a 15-1 advantage in penalty corners.

Dina Rizzo's tally midway through the first half was the only score before halftime, giving Maryland a 1-0 lead at the intermission. Ottati recorded six of her saves in the first half.

Caroline Walter scored just 2:05 into the second half, however, to make it a 2-0 game. Hiskins then recorded goals with 17:03 and 6:30 remaining in the game to give the Terps some insurance.

Delaware, which dropped out of the Top 20 poll earlier in the day, fell to 3-3 on the season with the loss.

The Hens continue their brutal schedule stretch Friday night against Northeastern, the only non-ranked opponent in the six-game span. The America East opener for both teams will be the first game under the lights on the UD campus and gets under way at 7 p.m.
