Freshman Evans Posts Four Points on Afternoon

PHILADELPHIA, PA -- Freshman Katie Evans (Newtown Square, PA) scored once and added two assists as the University of Delaware field hockey team downed the Penn Quakers, 4-1, Saturday afternoon at Franklin Field.

Senior Jessica Breault (Southbury, CT) and juniors Jessi Balmer (Telford, PA) and Lauren Carr (West Chester, PA) scored goals for Delaware, who won for the second straight game and improved to 2-1 on the season.

Evans opened the scoring eight minutes into the contest, scoring unassisted past Penn goalkeeper Amanda Jacobs. The Blue Hens extended their lead to 2-0 when Breault scored off a feed from Evans at 28:25 before Kristen Gray cut the Quakers deficit to 2-1 with a goal at the 42:19 mark.

Balmer put the Hens back up by two goals when she knocked one past Jacobs at the 50:23 mark, and Carr added an insurance goal at the 60:37 mark, converting a pass from junior All-American candidate Erica LaBar (New Castle, DE).

Freshman goalkeeper Megan Allen (Virginia Beach, VA) recorded two saves for the Blue Hens in route to earning her second career victory before giving way to junior Heidi Hibshman (Lititz, PA) two seconds after Carr's tally. Jacobs stopped 10 Blue Hen shots.

The Blue Hens return to action tomorrow when they host the Villanova Wildcats at Rullo Stadium. Game time is set for 1 p.m.
