Geib Scores Game's Only Goals as Hens Win Again

Stephanie Judefind
DURHAM, NH -- Freshman Leah Geib scored an unassisted goal just eight minutes and 16 seconds into the contest for what proved to be the game's lone score as the University of Delaware downed New Hampshire 1-0 in an America East field hockey game Sunday afternoon.

Geib, a freshman from Schwenksville, PA (Souderton HS), connected early with her third goal of the season off her own rebounds to make a winner of the Blue Hens (6-1, 2-0 America East), who extended their winning streak to four matches.

Delaware's 6-1 start is it's best since 1998 when the Blue Hens opened the season 11-1 on their way to a 15-6 record. Delaware is also 2-0 in league play for the first time since that 1998 season.

Delaware outshot the Wildcats (5-4, 1-1) 18-10 and held a 12-3 advantage in penalty corners. New Hampshire had its best chance to score with 3:07 left to play but Marcie Boyer was wide on a penalty stroke.

Blue Hen junior goalkeeper Stephanie Judefind (Concord/Wilmington, DE) posted four saves to post her third shutout of the season. New Hampshire goalkeeper Christine Buckley stopped 12 shots.

Delaware will return to action Sept. 28 at home against Boston University.
