Delaware started off with a flurry of goals scoring three times in the first 14:56 of the game to jump out to a 3-0 lead. Alison Keehan (Woodbridge, Va./Woodbridge) started the scoring when she put in a goal off a Walker rebound. Merritt followed up a little more than two minutes later when she put in a shot from 10-yards out into the far post to make the score 2-0. Walker finished off the scoring barrage when she put in a shot off a Sara Wilson (Great Falls Va./Herndon) pass to end the Blue Hens scoring for the first half. Drexel struck back in the second half when Nicole DeHorsey put in a shot from 25-yards out to close the gap to 3-1. Merritt put the game away when she put in her second goal of the game off an Erin Kelly (West Chester, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) pass to make the score 4-1. Delaware outshot Drexel 20-2, including 12-0 in the first half. The win will give Delaware a chance to go for its fifth straight winning season in America East play when they play Towson on Sunday in Towson, Md. at 12 noon.
