The Hens registered a season-best 11 goals, but Rutgers pulled out the 12-11 victory in overtime Saturday afternoon at Delaware Stadium. Delaware, which led 11-6 at halftime, gave up five second half goals, including one with 45 seconds remaining to force extra time. Christine Long led the Hens (1-2) with a season-high five goals for her sixth career hat trick. Sydney Rausa added a hat trick of her own to go along with a game-best four ground balls while Claire D'Antonio posted two goals for Delaware. Caroline Farley dished out a career-best three assists and Mia DeRuggiero tallied one. Julia Dambly finished the game with seven draw controls, a mark good to tie for fourth in program history. POST-GAME QUOTES Head Coach Kateri Linville "We're still creating our identity as a team and we've shown a positive pattern of coming out strong in the first half. We need to continue to work to be a 60-minute team and put a complete game together. Rutgers played us tough and they definitely were disciplined in how they attacked us."
