RICHMOND, VA -- Despite holding a 32-6 advantage in shots, University of Delaware came away with a 1-1 tie against Virginia Commonwealth in the second round of the Richmond Tournament on Sunday afternoon. Senior Nicole Spadafino got Delaware (3-6-1) on the board 16 minutes into the second half. The Old Bridge, NJ native put a loose ball past Lindy Brown for her third goal of the season and 1-0 Blue Hen lead. VCU (1-6-2) waisted no time in tying the game, however. Katelyn Robie scored from 15 yards out just 6:24 later to tie the game, 1-1. That score held up through regulation and two 15-minute sudden-death overtime periods. Brown recorded 14 saves for VCU. Rachel Bersin had three saves for Delaware, all in the first half. Delaware's 32 shots tied the second-highest shot total by a Blue Hen team. It was the most since Sept. 20, 1993, when the Hens set a school-record with 41 shots in a 9-0 blasting of Mt. St. Mary's. Delaware has now recorded 30 or more shots six times since the program became intercollegiate in 1990. Delaware's Sara Wilson and Cate Harrison were both named to the All-Tournament team following the tournament. Delaware hosts Drexel next Friday at Delaware Mini-Stadium at 3:30 p.m.
