NEWARK, DE (October 22, 2004)-- The University of Delaware women's soccer team scored two early goals and held on to defeat Towson, 2-0, on Friday night in Colonial Athletic Association action at Delaware Mini-Stadium.

The Blue Hens (9-4-3, 4-2-1 CAA) won their third straight game on Senior Night, as the team honored seniors Christina Martinik (Monroe, CT/ Masuk) and Christine Wrightson (Landisville, PA/ Hempfield) before the match. Towson (6-9-1, 2-4-1 CAA) dropped its fourth straight contest.

The Blue Hens opened the scoring when current CAA and ECAC Player of the Week, Shannon Alger (Hopatcong, NJ/ Morris Catholic -at right) scored her fourth goal of the year 26:54 into the match. Alger's goal came off a Melissa Kunisky (Grantville, PA/ Lower Dauphin) corner kick that was directed to Alger by Alli D'Amico (Manasquan, NJ/ Red Bank Catholic).

Delaware struck again just over three minutes later as Allison Kendro (St. David's, PA/ Episcopal) redirected a pass that Lindsay Novotny (Towson, MD/ St. Rose) knocked home for her first career goal at the 29:55 mark.

The second half was fairly evenly played as both teams had scoring chances, but neither was able to connect.
