(at Univ. of Pennsylvania)
Oct. 17, 1998 at 7:30 p.m.
W 1-0

The University of Delaware field hockey team ended a two-game losing streak tonight (Saturday) defeating Drexel University 1-0. The lone Blue Hen came with 17:26 remaining in the game when Jodi Byrd (Pocomoke,Md./HS) found Sara Hills (Alexanderia, Va./St. Stephen's) open in the circle and Hills scored to provide all the offense in this defense affair. The game was a battle between two of the top goalkeepers in the America East Conference. Drexel's goalkeeper, Heather Haigh, who ranks third in the conference in goals against average at 1.38 made nine saves for the Dragons but allowed the lone goal of the match. Kelly Adams (Patterson, N.Y./Brewster HS) made six stops for the Hens living up to her billing as the top goalkeeper in the conference. Adams recorded her seventh shutout on the season and the 16th for her career.
