Blue Hens win third straight conference match

 

Juli Byrd nets two goals in the victory

TOWSON, MD -- Senior Juli Byrd scored twice leading the University of Delaware to its third straight America East conference victory dropping Towson University 3-0 at Minnegan Stadium Sunday afternoon.

Byrd (Pocomoke, MD/Pocomoke) put the Blue Hens on the board with 5:46 to go in the first half finishing a penalty corner assisted by Jenn Fotiou and Kelly Coyle. Byrd would add her second goal of the game off a penalty shot with less than three minutes remaining in the game.

Fotiou added a goal to go along with her assist and Heidi Hibshman stopped fives shots to record her second shutout of the season in the net for Delaware (11-6, 5-3 America East).

Loren Wolf turned away 10 shots in goal for the Tigers (3-14, 0-7) who remain winless in 22 meetings all-time against the Blue Hens.

Delaware is on the road once again Wednesday as they travel to College Park, MD to face the No.2 ranked University of Maryland at 7:30 p.m.
