November 9, 2002

 

NORFOLK, VA -- Three goals in the final 10:40 snapped a 1-1 tie and lifted the 20th-ranked Tribe of William & Mary past Delaware, 4-1, in semifinal action at the Colonial Athletic Association Field Hockey Tournament.

William & Mary, 12-7 overall and winners of nine straight, will take on No. 1 Old Dominion in Sunday afternoon's title game. The Lady Monarchs thumped No. 9 James Madison, 14-1, in Saturday's first semifinal game.

William & Mary, which defeated Delaware in double-overtime during the regular season, took a 1-0 lead when Annie Ekberg scored unassisted 9:58 into the game.

Delaware's Kelly Coyle tied the game early in the second half. Coyle scored off a feed from Lauren Carr 7:21 into the second half to make it a 1-1 game.

However, Ekberg, who scored twice in the teams' regular season meeting, scored her second goal of the afternoon with 10:40 remaining off a pass from Jordan Steele to give the Tribe a 2-1 lead.

Steele gave William & Mary some insurance and made it a 3-1 game when she scored with 6:26 left off a feed from Shannon Karl.

The Tribe closed out the win when Kate Baird scored unassisted with just 14 seconds to play.

Delaware closed out the season with a 10-10 mark, advancing to the conference tournament for the seventh straight season.
