Delaware Lets Early Lead Slip Away in Loss to Tigers

NEWARK, DE -- Leigh Slonaker scored four goals and Whitney Miller, Theresa Sherry and Elizabeth Pillion all scored three times as No. 5 Princeton scored 12 unanswered goals to overcome an early deficit and down the University of Delaware 17-9 in non-conference women's lacrosse action Tuesday night at Rullo Stadium.

Erin Edell scored two goals for the Blue Hens

Katie Yakulis added a goal and an assist for the Tigers (5-3), who defeated the Blue Hens for the 14th straight time and improved to 15-4 lifetime against Delaware.

The Blue Hens (4-5) were led by senior captain Nikki Kucharski, who posted her third hat trick of the season with three goals. Sophomore Erin Edell and freshman Laura Libertini each added two goals while sophomore Diana Hall and freshman Kristin Cellucci also scored for Delaware.

Delaware jumped out to a 5-1 lead just 13:10 into the first half on two goals by Edell as well as scores from Kucharski, Cellucci and Hall, but the Tigers reeled off the next 12 goals, led by three of Slonaker's four goals, to stake Princeton to a 13-5 lead. Libertini broke the 27:21 scoreless drought for the Blue Hens at 15:49 of the second half.

Sophomore goalkeeper Sarah Kolodner made four saves en route to notching her fifth win of the season for Princeton, while freshman Patrice Hughes suffered the loss for Delaware, allowing 15 goals while making seven saves before being replaced by sophomore Lauren Burtch.

The Blue Hens return to action Thursday afternoon when they travel to Colorado to take on Regis College. Game time is set for 4 p.m. MST.
