Delaware women fall
to Patriots, 3-2
NEWARK, DE -- A University of Delaware rally came up short as George Mason University defeated the Blue Hens, 3-2, in women's soccer action Wednesday night at the Mini-Stadium. It was the first-ever meeting between the two future Colonial Athletic Association rivals. Delaware mounted an impressive comeback after falling behind 2-0 at halftime. Junior Brittany Campbell, the current America East Player of the Week, sent a crossing pass to Francesca Termini, who put a header past the GMU keeper. Six minutes later, Christine Wrightson scored off a Ginette Buffone corner kick to tie the game at 2-2. The Delaware comeback was to be for not as George Mason (3-4-1) freshman Sarah Wilkinson put a shot off the hands of Hen goalie Andrea Lunn for the game-winning score. Patriot keeper Naomi Hines held off the Hens the rest of the way, finishing the night with nine saves. The Blue Hens return to action Friday night as they take on Northeastern University at 8 p.m, as part of a men's-womens soccer doubleheader at the Delaware Mini-Stadium.
