Delaware took control of the game in the 63rd minute after New Hampshire's (5-7-3, 3-4-2) Nicholas Mello was red-carded, leaving the Wildcats a player short for the rest of the game. The Hens took advantage of the extra player as Honeysett gave the Blue Hens the lead seconds later, drilling a shot from to the top right corner of the net from 20 yards out.
