UMBC 3, Delaware 2 (OT)

BALTIMORE, MD -- Two days after needing overtime to win its opener at LaSalle, the Delaware women's soccer team died by the same sword Tuesday, falling to UMBC, 3-2, in overtime.

Katie Zoller scored 8:44 into the extra-session for the Retrievers (2-1) from 15 yards out. She beat Delaware netminder Rachel Bersin to the bottom right corner for the game-winner.

Delaware (1-1) scored first at the 30:20 mark of the first half when senior Amy Brino scored her first collegiate goal off of a feed from Sara Wilson.

UMBC tied the game just before halftime when Erin Lesh scored the first of her two goals on the day with just 57 seconds remaining in the first half.

Lesh scored again 15:44 into the second half from 17 yards out to give UMBC a 2-1 lead.

However, Mandy Merritt, Sunday's hero with a hat trick, tied the game just over seven minutes later with an unassisted tally.

The score remained that way until Lesh fed Zoller for the game-winner. Delaware outshot UMBC, 12-11.

Delaware heads west this weekend to play at the Purdue Tournament. The Blue Hens take on Wright State Friday afternoon at 1 p.m.
