Creed gives Delaware a victory in CAA Debut

Mary Beth Creed scores game-winner to give Delaware its first conference win as a member of the CAA

NEWARK, DE -- Freshman midfielder Mary Beth Creed scored the game-winning goal at 76:02 to give the University of Delaware women's soccer team a 1-0 victory over Towson Sunday afternoon at Delaware Mini-Stadium.

The win gives Delaware (5-3, 1-0 CAA) its first conference win as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association. Towson, which also began play in the CAA this season, fell to 4-5-1 overall, and 0-2 in the conference.

Blue Hen junior goalkeeper Andrea Lunn was outstanding again in net, making six saves for her first shutout of the season, and fifth of her career. Tigers goalkeeper Yasmin Alter stopped eight shots in a losing effort.

Junior forward Francesca Termini led the Delaware attack with five shots on goal, including one that caromed off the crossbar late in the second half that would have iced it for the Hens.

The Blue Hens return to action on Friday when they play host to conference rival UNC Wilmington at Delaware Mini-Stadium at 7 p.m.
