PALO ALTO, CA -- Freshman Leah Geib scored her second goal in as many days to break a scoreless tie and beat Stanford, 1-0, Sunday afternoon.

The Blue Hens moved to 2-0 with the win. It is the sixth time in the last eight seasons that Delaware has opened the season 2-0.

Geib, a native of Schwenksville, PA (Souderton HS), scored unassisted with 4:55 remaining to ruin Stanford's season opener.

Stephanie Judefind and Heidi Hibshman combined on the shutout. Judefind stopped four shots in the first half, while Hibshman, who gets credit for the win, made one save. Stanford's Rebecca Shapiro recorded eight saves in a losing effort.

The Blue Hens held an 11-7 advantage in shots, including 10-2 in the second half. The Blue Hens also held a 7-3 advantage in penalty corners.

Delaware concludes its three-game west coast swing Tuesday at California at 3 p.m. EDT.
