NORFOLK, VA -- Redshirt freshman Rachel Daubert (Harrisburg, PA) kept Old Dominion's CAA unbeaten streak alive, as she sent home the game-winning goal with 12.9 seconds remaining in the first overtime session to lead the seventh ranked Lady Monarch field hockey team to a 6-5 victory over #11 Delaware.
Senior midfielder Angie Loy (Loysville, PA) set up the play by collecting the ball from the Delaware offense and sprinting up the middle of the field. Once inside the circle, Loy found Daubert wide open at the left side of the Blue Hen cage to put away the game-winner.
The victory improves Old Dominion to 10-4 overall and 5-0 in CAA competition. The Lady Monarchs' CAA unbeaten streak also extends to 58 straight games. Delaware losses their second straight game and falls to 10-4 overall and 2-2 in the CAA.
Old Dominion took an early 2-0 lead as junior Beth Maddox (Va. Beach, VA) and Loy each capitalized on Lady Monarch penalty corner opportunities. With 17:18 on the clock, senior midfielder Jessica Breault put the Blue Hens on the scoreboard and five minutes later junior midfielder Erica LaBar tied the game at 2-2. Old Dominion freshman forward Anna Rogers (New Bloomfield, PA) put the Lady Monarchs ahead, 3-2, with 11:34 remaining the half, but Delaware once again tied the game, just minutes later, on Breault's second goal of the game.
In the second half, Delaware took a one-goal lead twice, but within a minute of each tally the Lady Monarchs were able to tie the game back up. The Blue Hen's Breault passed the ball over to rookie forward Katie Evans, who was waiting at the right side of the net to give Delaware a 4-3 lead with 23:22 left in regulation. However, a minute later, Old Dominion retaliated with another penalty corner opportunity to tie the game up at 4-4. Senior Melissa Leonetti (Erdenhiem, PA) and sophomore Janelle Engle (Mt. Joy, PA) each registered their third assists of the game as Maddox sent home her second goal of the day. Then with less than eight minutes to go in the second half, Delaware went back up by one, 5-4, as LaBar tipped the ball over to junior midfielder Jessi Balmer, who sent the ball sailing over ODU keeper Tina Walker (Suffolk, VA) on a penalty corner. Within moments, the game was tied at 5-5 as Loy dribble up the middle, forcing Delaware netminder Megan Allen out of the cage, and finding Rogers open on the left side of the net for her second tally of the afternoon.
The game was forced into overtime as neither team could score in the final minutes of the second half. The Blue Hens had a chance for the victory midway through the extra session. LaBar set up for a penalty corner shot drawing Walker out of the net. LaBar's shot went high, hit the top of the cage, and bounced in front of the net behind the Lady Monarch goalkeeper, but senior defender Lynn Farquhar (Alexandria, VA) was there to push the potential Blue Hen game-winner out of the way.
With the clock ticking down and Delaware with possession of the ball, Loy took control setting up the Lady Monarchs' game-winner for Daubert with 12.9 seconds left.
The Blue Hens outshot Old Dominion, 19-14, while the Lady Monarchs had the advantage in penalty corners, 11-5. Walker tied her career-high with 11 saves in net for Old Dominion, while Delaware's Allen made five stops.
The Lady Monarchs take to the road again next weekend. Old Dominion travels to College Park, MD for a rematch with Maryland on Saturday, October 18th followed by a trip to Princeton for their first meeting with the Tigers on Sunday, October 19th. Both games begin at noon.
