No. 9 Penn State Downs No. 12 Delaware 15-6 in Women's Lax

 

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA - Colleen O'Brien, Jenn Webb, and Julie Tice each netted hat tricks and Tice added five assists as No. 9 ranked Penn State jumped out in front early and moved on to a 15-6 women's lacrosse victory over No. 12 ranked Delaware Tuesday at Jeffrey Field.

Penn State (9-4) jumped out to a 7-0 lead and never looked back in posting the win over the Blue Hens (6-4), who got two goals each from Amy Sullivan and Robyn Hill. Hill also added two assists.

The Nittany Lions, who went up 4-0 just six minutes into the game, were efficient, scoring 15 goals on just 26 shots compared to the Blue Hens' 24 shots on goal.

Seven different Penn State players scored a goal in the 7-0 start, which went to 10-2 at halftime. Delaware didn't get on the board until Sarah Edwards scored with 11:09 left in the first half. Megan Fortunato added a goal six minutes later to cut the Penn State lead to 8-2, but the Hens never got closer than six the rest of the way.

The Hens will return home to host a pair of America East foes this weekend. Delaware will take on New Hampshire Friday and host No. 15 ranked Boston University Sunday.
