game Saturday.The Terrapins improved to
16-5 this season, while the Blue Hens had
their seven-game winning streak snapped
and ended their season 15-7.
Delaware,
making its third NCAA Tournament
Appearance in school history and the first
since 1988, struck first 12:37 into the
game when sophomore Amanda Warrington
(Lewes, DE/Cape Henlopen - at right)
scored an unassisted goal on a shot from
the top of the circle for her 10th goal of
the season.
However,
Infante tied the game at the 19:18 mark
with a similar goal from the top of the
circle and put the Terrapins on top with
another unassisted goal just 3:45 before
halftime.
Infante
made it a 3-1 game with 25:29 remaining in
the game with her third goal of the
contest, and scored off an assist from
Janneke van Leeuwen on a penalty corner
just four minutes later. She then set new
NCAA Championship records for goals and
points in a game with another unassisted
goal with 9:14 to play.
Delaware
senior Erica LaBar (New Castle, DE/William
Penn) closed the scoring with a shot from
the top of the circle with 1:09 remaining
to post her 11th goal of the season, tying
her for the team lead with fellow senior
Lauren Carr (West Chester,
PA/Downingtown).
The
Terrapins, who needed three late goals to
post a 4-3 comeback win over Delaware in
the teams' regular season meeting, held a
19-5 shot advantage and an 11-5 edge in
penalty corners. Kathryn Masson and
Christina Restivo each did not make a save
while allowing a goal apiece for Maryland,
while Delaware sophomore goalkeeper Megan
Allen (Virginia Beach, VA/Kempsville)
stopped eight shots in the Blue Hen
cage.
Delaware,
which has now lost seven straight to the
Terrapins, finishes its season with 15
wins, tied for fourth-most in a season in
school history and the most since the 1998
team finished 15-6. Last weekend the Blue
Hens knocked off eight-time defending
Colonial Athletic Association champion Old
Dominion in the CAA Tournament semifinals
and defeated Hofstra in the final to claim
the school's first-ever CAA Tournament
title in any sport.
