NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware field hockey team defeated the Drexel Dragons Sunday afternoon in Colonial Athletic Association action, 4-1, at Rullo Stadium.

Sophomore Erica LaBar (New Castle, DE) added her team-leading 10th goal of the season just before the end of the half to give the Blue Hens a two-goal halftime cushion.
