Oct. 13, 1999 Delaware 3, West Chester 1
NEWARK, DE -- The struggling Delaware offense came alive Wednesday night with a 3-1 win in field hockey action at Rullo Stadium Wednesday night. The Blue Hens had scored just five goals in their last nine games before Wednesday's outburst. The win broke a five-game home losing streak, was their third in the last four games and raised their record to 6-8 overall. West Chester (5-7) scored first when Marisa Mitchell scored off a feed from Natalie Landis with 24:34 remaining in the first half. Mitchell was set-up for the initial shot off of a penalty corner, but passed off to Landis, who passed back to Mitchell for the score. Delaware tied the score, however, just 3:19 later when senior Katie Wirth scored unassisted to tie the game, 1-1. The Blue Hens put the game away with a pair of second half goals. The first score came 4:30 into the half on Juli Byrd's penalty corner score. Byrd's fifth goal of the season came with assists from Rachel Barger and Sara Hills. The insurance goal came with 11:49 to play when Patty Jo Morrow scored her first career goal. The senior, ironicly a native of West Chester, PA, scored on a scramble in front of the net to put the game away. Delaware outshot West Chester, 15-7, and held a 15-7 advantage in penalty corners, including a 13-2 mark in the second half. Delaware will travel to Towson for an America East clash Friday at 3 p.m.
