DURHAM, NH - The University of Delaware fell to the University of New Hampshire, 2-1, Friday in field hockey.

Delaware (9-10, 4-3 America East) was battling from behind most of the game. Just 4:45 into the game, New Hampshire's Nicole Bartko scored off an assist from Cameron Schmitz. The Wildcats added a second goal off a penalty corner at 9:19, when Marcie Boyer put the ball in the net off of a Jessica Russell feed.

Delaware got on the board at 53:06 (18:06 into the second half) when America East Player of the Week Juli Byrd scored her ninth goal of the season off assists from Megan Fortunato and Mia Callahan.

With the win, New Hampshire (11-6, 6-1 America East) has clinched a second seed in the upcoming America East tournament and will play the three seed Northeastern on Friday at Boston University's Nickerson Field. Delaware will be the fourth seed and face the one seed and host Boston University Terriers at Nickerson Field at 5 p.m. on Friday.

Delaware will play one more regular season match on Sunday, when it travels to Maine for a 12 noon start.
