NEWARK, DE -- Freshmen Ginette Buffone (Enfield, CT/Loomis Chaffee School) and Ginna Lewing (Yardley, PA/Pennsbury) each had a goal and an assist as the University of Delaware women's soccer team scored four first-half goals en route to a 4-0 win over the University of Maine Friday afternoon at sun-splashed Delaware Field. Delaware (10-5-1, 3-3 America East), which scored three first-half goals in a win over Drexel earlier in the week, jumped on the Black Bears early. Sara Wilson headed a free kick by Lewing to Brittany Campbell, who beat Black Bears goalkeeper Naomi Welsh from six yards out to give the Hens the lead just 13 minutes into the match. The goal was the team-leading 10th of the year for Campbell. Delaware increaed its lead when Buffone scored off a cross from Megan McFadden with 19 minutes remaining in the first half, and the Hens added another goal just two minutes later when Lewing headed home a corner kick from Buffone. Fran Termini scored on a breakaway in the 41st minute to complete the scoring. Rachel Bersin and Erin Johnson did not have to make a save in combining on the shutout for Delaware, while Welsh made six saves in net for Maine (5-7, 1-5). The win puts Delaware just one win behind Hofstra and Northeastern in the battle for the fourth and final playoff spot in the America East Tournament. Delaware will play its final home match of the season on Sunday at Delaware Field at 1 p.m. when the Blue Hens host New Hampshire.
