Coyle lifts Blue Hens in Double-overtime win.

Kelly Coyle
WEST CHESTER, PA -- With 6:47 left in the second overtime, junior Kelly Coyle (Lawrenceville, NJ/Lawrenceville) clinched the victory with an unassisted goal as the University of Delaware field hockey team upended host West Chester in a non-conference game Wednesday evening.

Freshman Lauren Carr (West Chester, PA/Downingtown), playing in front of a hometown crowd, got Delaware (7-3, 2-2) on the board 11:12 into the first half. The Rams (6-4) would answer back, as sophomore Liz Morrow evened the score with 3:52 left in the first half

For Coyle, the game-winning score was her first goal on the season, and only the second of her career.

In goal, freshman Heidi Hibshman recorded a season high nine saves, as she went the distance to get her second victory, snapping a two-game slide for the Blue Hens.

Delaware travels to Albany for an America East match-up on Friday October 5.
