NEWARK, DE -- Mandi Benson scored on a direct kick with 4:03 left in the first overtime to give the Delaware women's soccer team a 2-1 win over LaSalle Tuesday afternoon at Delaware Field. After a LaSalle foul, Delaware (2-0-1) had a direct kick from about 25 yards out on the left side. Benson sent the ball toward the right post and the ball somehow found its way untouched through a sea of bodies to the right corner of the net. It was the first career goal for Benson, who was swarmed by her teammates after scoring the game-winner. Brittany Campbell scored off a LaSalle (3-1) turnover with just over 23 minutes remaining in regulation to tie the match. Krista Lee scored off a feed from Amy Schneider just five minutes into the match to give the Explorers the early lead. The goal snapped Delaware goalkeeper Rachel Bersin's shutout streak at 223:32 dating back to last season. Bersin went on to collect five saves. Her goals against average now stands at 0.29 this season. Delaware will look to remain unbeaten when the Blue Hens host Pennsylvania Friday at 4 p.m. at Delaware Field.
