NEWARK, DE - Delaware Sophomore Andrea Grasso recorded her first collegiate
shutout and Jenn Fotiou had a goal and an assist as Delaware blanked
Temple, 3-0, in field hockey action at Rullo Stadium September 13.
Fotiou, a senior from Oley, PA, got the scoring started with an
unassisted tally. The goal at 19:03 was Fotiou's second of the season
and sixth of her career.
The Blue Hens (2-3) extended their lead to 2-0 with 3:12 remaining in
the first half when junior Juli Byrd scored off of a penalty corner. The
goal, Byrd's fourth of the season and 20th of her career, was assisted
by Fotiou and Megan Fortunato.
Fortunato had a hand in the Hens' final goal, as well. The senior from
Willow Grove, PA dished off to Kim Wagaman (Oley, PA) for an insurance
goal with just 41 seconds remaining. The goal was the first of Wagaman's
collegiate career.
