August 28, 2001 Blue Hens Fall For First Time on West Coast
PALO ALTO, CA -- Elizabeth Harkins scored on a two-on-one break with 9:49 left in overtime to lift the University of California to a 2-1 non-league field hockey victory over the University of Delaware Tuesday night at Stanford University. California (1-1) sent the game into overtime on a goal by Erin Robinson with 24:13 left in regulation then won the game on Harkins' goal less than six minutes into the extra session. Delaware, playing its third and final game on its season-opening West Coast trip, fell to 2-1 on the season. The Hens will return to action Sept. 8 at Rutgers. After a scoreless first half, Delaware got on the board first just four minutes and 21 seconds into the second half when All-Region standout Juli Byrd scored her first goal of the season off a feed from freshman Jessi Balmer. California tied the game at 1-1 six minutes later when Robinson scored off a penalty corner off assists from Danya Sawyer and Harkins. Harkins then scored the game-winner in overtime off a feed from Amber Stockstill. Delaware outshot the Golden Bears 12-10 with starting goalkeeper Heidi Hibschman posting three saves. Cal goalkeeper Emily Rowlen posted six saves to get the victory.
