Blue Hens explode in second half to win America East opener

Erica LaBar
ORONO, ME-- Delaware's field hockey team didn't play like a team that hadn't played in nine days as it won its third straight Friday night, 4-1, over Maine.

In Delaware's America East opener, the Hens outshot the Black Bears, 22-5. The offense started early as freshman Erica LaBar (New Castle, DE/ William Penn) scored her first career goal six minutes into the game.

After Maine tied the score 1-1 at the half, freshman Lauren Carr scored her third goal of the season two minutes into the second half. The Blue Hen offense did not look back from that point as Kim Wagaman and Erin Shaklee also added goals. Senior Juli Byrd assisted on the Shaklee goal bringing her season point total to 10.

Goalie Jaye Lance stopped seven shots for the Black Bears, who fell to 2-4. Stephanie Judefind had two saves in picking up the win for Delaware.

The Blue Hens (5-1) continue their northern trip with a visit to New Hampshire Sunday. Game time set for noon.
