Edwards got the equalizer when he stole the ball from the WillIam & Mary (6-5-1, 2-0-1 CAA) defense at midfield. He proceeded to race towards the net and slip a shot into the lower right-corner of the net at 66:47.

Trevor Upton made two saves in net for the Tribe, while Haynes stopped four shots in a losing effort for Delaware.

William & Mary outshot the Blue Hens 13-3, and held a 8-5 advantage in corner kicks.
