ORONO, ME -- Sophomore Stacey Lukens (Chalfont, PA/Central Bucks West) came off the bench to score a goal and add an assist to lead the University of Delaware women's soccer team to a 5-1 win over Maine Friday afternoon in Orono. Lukens opened the scoring for the Blue Hens (5-6-1, 3-1) by beating Maine goalkeeper Karyn McMullin from the right corner with 12 minutes remaining in the first half. The goal was Lukens' first of the season. Six minutes later Stephanie Schmuker scored off a pass from Erika Larson to put Delaware up 2-0 at halftime. Tracy Cantwell increased the lead to three with a goal assisted by Mandy Merritt eight minutes into the second half, and Sara Wilson scored off a corner kick from Cantwell to give the Hens a 4-0 lead. Carolyn Fotiu scored to put Maine (1-12, 0-6) on the board with just under six minutes remaining. Kelly Walker scored for Delaware with :13 left to close the scoring. The four-goal margin of victory was Delaware's largest since a 6-1 win over Northeastern on Nov. 2, 1997. Delaware continues conference play Sunday afternoon when it visits New Hampshire at 1 p.m.
