NEWARK, DE -- Megan Cross had a goal and an assist to spark Boston University to a 3-1 win over Delaware in America East women's soccer action Sunday afternoon. The win kept Boston University atop America East with a 5-0-1 mark in league play, 6-4-1 overall. Delaware fell to 4-5, 1-3 in America East. Cross opened the scoring when she scored her first goal of the season off a penalty kick at 10:58. A Boston University player was taken down in the box, resulting in the penalty kick. Cross went low and to the right of Delaware keeper Rachel Bersin. Bersin got a piece of the ball, but not enough to prevent it from going into the goal. The Terriers took a 2-0 lead when Melissa Shulman popped in a rebound of a Cross shot at 21:29. Delaware pulled to within one early in the second half. Just 3:11 into the half, Megan McFadden scored from 10 yards out off a Sara Wilson feed. However, the Terriers took a 3-1 lead when Lesley Garvey hit a ball from 30 yards out that went just out of Bersin's reach and over her head into the net. Boston University outshot Delaware, 17-12. Delaware held a 4-1 advantage in corner kicks. The Blue Hens will continue their nine-game homestand when they host Old Dominion on Wednesday at 3 p.m.
