MERION STATION, Pa. – Kiki Oudshoorn's second goal of the game with 2:15 to play in the second overtime lifted #23 Delaware past the ninth-ranked Saint Joseph's field hockey team, 4-3, at Ellen Ryan Field on Friday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Saint Joseph's (8-3) scored the opening goal against the run of play as a long ball from Freke van Tilburg was tipped in by Nika Hansen seven minutes into the game.

• Delaware (4-6) equalized with no time on the clock at the end of the first quarter as Julia Duffhuis converted on a penalty corner.

• Oudshoorn scored her first of the day less than three minutes later to send the game into halftime with the Blue Hens on top, 2-1.

• Duffhuis netted her second of the game on a penalty stroke with five minutes to go in the third quarter to double the UD advantage.

• The Hawks staged their comeback in the latter stages of the fourth, as Manu Ghigliotti and Sol Borensztein connected for a goal on a penalty corner; Ghigliotti sent the ball to Borensztein, who gave it right back to Ghigliotti for her 10th goal of the season.

• Another corner led to the equalizer, as van Tilburg sent a pass back to inserter Cassidy Atchison, who knocked it home from the near post to tie the game with 2:10 to play in regulation.  The Hawks would then have a chance to win it in the last minute, but Anna Miller's shot fizzed wide.

• Both teams had chances in the extra frames, but Oudshoorn picked up a rebound from a saved Grace Miller attempt and lofted it home for the game-winner with 2:15 to go in the second overtime.
