UD field hockey tops LaSalle, extends streak
 9:35 a.m., Oct. 1, 2003--The No. 12-ranked University of Delaware field hockey team won its fifth straight game Tuesday, defeating LaSalle University 6-3 at Rullo Stadium.
UD junior Jessi Balmer scored her eighth and ninth goals of the season and fellow junior Erica LaBar added three assists.
Senior tri-captain Jessica Breault added a goal and an assist for the Fightin’ Blue Hens, who raised their record to 8-2.
The six goals is the most Delaware has scored in a game since netting eight in a 8-0 win against Lehigh University in 1998.
Freshman Katie Evans opened the scoring for Delaware at the 29:16 mark as she took a behind-the-back pass from LaBar and blew a shot past LaSalle goalkeeper Colleen Bolger.
Breault made it 2-0 at 32:37, as she converted a crossing pass from junior Lauren Carr. Carr then gave Delaware a 3-0 lead when she knocked home a rebound from a sharp angle off a LaBar shot at 36:21.
Senior Erin Shaklee increased the lead to 4-0 when she one-timed a pass from LaBar past Bolger at 41:46.
Two goals from Balmer, one at 44:02 and another at 49:25, gave Delaware a 6-0 lead.
LaSalle got late goals from Jill Moser at the 54:10 mark, Laura Farley at 64:21 and Katharine Prokop at 65:50.
With her three assists, Labar moved into sole possession of fifth place on UD's all-time assist list with 19.
Delaware returns to action on Friday evening when it opens Colonial Athletic Association play by hosting James Madison University. Game time is 7 p.m. at Rullo Stadium.
The Dukes are 3-8 overall, 0-1 in conference.
