Lawrence (St. Francis DeSales/Columbus, OH) scored her second goal of the season off a feed from Melissa Kunisky 23 minutes and 21 seconds into the game to give the Blue Hens the lead for good and Lytwynec(Newark/Newark, DE) added some insurance with an unassisted tally 20minutes into the second half to lift Delaware to its second straight

CAA newcomer Northeastern fell to 3-6-1 (0-2 CAA) with the loss. Laura Johnson scored just 28 seconds after Lytwynec’s second half goal but the Huskies could never tie it up after that.

Northeastern outshot the Hens 11-7 but Delaware goalkeeper Lindsey Shover posted six saves, her second highest total this season, to pick up the victory. Northeastern goalkeeper Mariel Wilner posted four saves in the loss.
