Sept. 24, 1999 Northeastern 2, Delaware 0
NEWARK, DE -- Jackie Carl played the spoiler in the first-ever night field hockey game on the Delaware campus as she scored a pair of first half goals to lead Northeastern, 2-0, over Delaware Friday night. Carl's first tally of the night came with 28:21 remaining in the first half off of a penalty corner. Kelly Williams and Heidi Benson recorded the assists on the play. Then, with 12:43 remaining in the half, Northeastern's same combo lined-up for another penalty corner try. Carl's shot hit a Delaware player's foot directly in front of the goal, resulting in a penalty stroke. Carl connected on the stroke, beating Delaware keeper Kelly Ottati to the bottom right corner of the net. The Blue Hens dominated the second half. After Northeastern held an 8-4 advantage in shots on goal and a 5-2 advantage in penalty corners at the half, Delaware shutdown Northeastern and held a 15-0 advantage on shots and a 13-0 advantage in penalty corners. However, Delaware could not capitalize on any of the opportunities. The loss dropped Delaware to 3-4 (0-1 America East) on the season, marking the first time the Blue Hens have fallen below .500 since September 1993. Northeastern is now 2-5 (1-0 America East). Delaware hosts No. 15 Boston University Sunday at 1 p.m.
