October 10, 2001 Blue Hens edged by nationally-ranked Tigers
NEWARK, DE -- No. 7 ranked Princeton University had the last word in a tight, back-and-forth scoring battle, defeating the University of Delaware 3-2, in field hockey action Wednesday night at Rullo Stadium. The Tigers (8-2, 2-0 Ivy League), behind the nation's leading goal scorer, Ilvey Friebe, struck 23:45 into the first half with the first of her two goals on the night. The Blue Hens answered back, as freshman Leah Geib (Schwenksville, PA/Souderton) knocked in a rebound with 5:18 remaining in the half. Less than two minutes later, Princeton responded as Friebe got her second goal of game, and 19th of the season, to send the Tigers into halftime with a 2-1 lead. Delaware (8-5, 3-3 America East) tied the game at two goals apiece when junior Kelly Coyle (Lawrenceville, NJ/Lawrenceville) netted a pass from Kim Wagaman, 3:32 into the second half. Princeton broke the stalemate for good as Rachael Becker scored the game-winner with 15:38 left in the game. The Blue Hens will look to get back on track as they host Virginia Commonwealth Sunday October 14, at 1 p.m., in Rullo Stadium. AGATE: DELAWARE....................1...1...-
