WEST CHESTER, PA -- The University of Delaware scored the first six goals of the second half to overcome a two-goal first half deficit and post a 13-6 women's lacrosse win over host West Chester Tuesday afternoon.

The Blue Hens, ranked 16th in the latest NCAA Division I poll, got three goals from Sarah Edwards and two goals each from Corinne Shuck, Megan Fortunato, and Kate O'Connell to improve to 3-2 on the season. West Chester, the No. 1 ranked team in NCAA Division II, fell to 3-2 despite two goals from Teri Minzola. The Hens defeated the Rams for the eighth straight time.

Edwards scored her first goal with 14:08 left in the first half to give the Hens a 3-2 lead, but West Chester reeled off the final three goals of the half to take a 5-3 lead into intermission.

Freshman Laurie Tortorelli took over in goal for the Hens in the second half and made an immediate impact, holding the Rams scoreless for the first 18 minutes of the stanza and making eight saves.

Delaware scored the first six goals of the second half, two each by Edwards and Fortunato, to go up 9-5. After Minzola scored West Chester's only goal of the second half with 11:01 left to play, the Hens reeled off four more goals, two by Schuck, to end the game.
