Brittany Campbell scored the game-winner for the Blue Hens.

All-time game played leader Megan McFadden contests UNH's Ferrell Swain.

NEWARK, DE -- Junior Brittany Campbell's goal in the 41st minute was all the University of Delaware women's soccer team needed to defeat New Hampshire, 1-0, Tuesday afternoon in America East First Round action at the Mini-Stadium. It was the first women's soccer postseason game played at Delaware Mini-Stadium

Delaware, playing without conference assist leader Ginette Buffone, struggled to get shots on the Wildcats early, not recording a shot in the first 40 minutes of play. Ginna Lewing headed the ball high into the air allowing Campbell (Newtown, PA) to drive a shot to the right corner of the net.

The Blue Hen defense took control from that point, not allowing the Wildcats a shot on goal in the second half. Andrea Lunn stopped two Wildcat shots early in the contest in recording the shutout.

It was the third time that Delaware has defeated the Wildcats in the America East Tournament, previously defeating New Hampshire in 1995 and 1996.

Delaware senior Megan McFadden (Warminster, PA) played in her 78th career game, breaking the UD women's soccer record for all-time games played.

The University of Delaware advances to face top-seeded Boston University in the America East semifinals Friday night at 7:00 at Nickerson Field.
