Terriers spoil Hens home opener

 

Juli Byrd recorded second career hat-trick

NEWARK, DE -- Juli Byrd's second career hit-trick was not enough as Boston University defeated the University of Delaware, 5-4, in America East field hockey action Friday night at Rullo Stadium.

Boston University's Jane Rogers scored three minutes into the first overtime to win the game for the Terriers (3-4, 3-1 America East). The Terriers tied the game with 7:50 remaining in regulation on Felicia Cappabianca's second goal of the game.

Byrd scored twice in the first half to give Delaware (6-2, 2-1) a 2-0 lead. After the Terriers rallied to tie it, 3-3, Byrd scored off a direct corner with 12:03 remaining to give the Blue Hens the lead. However, that lead was to be short lived.

It is the 23rd hat-trick in University of Delaware field hockey history. Byrd is the fifth player to record multiple hat-tricks in a career joining a list that includes her sister Jodi.

The nine goals scored between Boston University and Delaware is the most in the three-year history of Rullo Stadium.

The 20th-ranked Blue Hens will host No. 17 Northeastern Sunday at 1 p.m. at Rullo Stadium.
