Miami (FL) transfer scores twice to lead Hens

Caryn Blood scored twice in Delaware's 4-2 win over Northeastern

NEWARK, DE -- Sophomore midfielder Caryn Blood scored twice in the first half as the University of Delaware women's soccer team defeated Northeastern, 4-2, in America East action at Delaware Mini-Stadium Friday night.

Blood, who transferred to Delaware from University of Miami last summer, scored just 2:36 into the game and then again with 1:54 remaining in the half. She now has seven points on the season (3g, 1a).

After Blood gave Delaware (4-4-0, 1-2-0 America East) an early 1-0 lead, scoring off a feed from Megan McFadden, Northeastern's Melissa Cohen tied the game at 19:54 off a cross from Liz Dyjack.

The Blue Hens, however, took a 3-1 lead into intermission on a pair of late goals. Sara Wilson scored off a deflection with 5:04 remaining in the half, and Blood's second tally of the night on a header gave the Blue Hens a two-goal lead.

Brittany Campbell, who had assisted on Blood's second goal, gave Delaware a 4-1 lead with 29:44 left in the game off Ginette Buffone's second assist of the night and an assist from Ginna Lewing, who started the play off the corner kick

Jennifer North scored off a rebound with just under 10 minutes remaining, but it was too little, too late for Northeastern (5-2-1, 1-2-1).

Delaware will host defending America East champion Boston University Sunday at 3 p.m.
