September 11, 2003 Harrington's Goal Snaps Blue Hens Three-Game Winning Streak NEWARK, DE -- Freshman Audrey Harrington scored eight minutes into overtime and Gina Sadler made seven saves as University of the Pacific field hockey team handed the University of Delaware a 2-1 defeat in overtime Thursday night at Rullo Stadium. The loss snaps the Blue Hens' (3-2) three-game winning streak and marks the first time the Tigers (2-2) have defeated Delaware. They entered the contest 0-2 all-time against UD. Harrington picked up a loose ball and backhanded a shot past Delaware keeper Megan Allen, who finished the night with four saves, including a sprawling save on a Pacific two-on-none break with nine minutes left in overtime. Pacific's Vianney Campos opened the scoring at the 24:07 mark, as she ripped a shot past Allen from just inside the circle. The game remained that way until freshman Katie Evans evened the score at one when she backhanded a shot past Sadler with under four minutes remaining in the second half. The Blue Hens outshot the Tigers 12-8, including a 7-2 margin in the second quarter. Delaware also failed to convert on 11 penalty corners. The Blue Hens return to action this Sunday when they take on Ball State at 3 p.m. in the first of two games at Northwestern in Evanston, IL. Delaware will meet the Wildcats Monday at 2 p.m. AGATE PACIFIC................1...0...1 -
