WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Senior forward
Katrina Guillou (Bishop Ireton H.S./Fort Washington, Md.) scored two goals as UNCW battled to a 2-2 Colonial Athletic Association double overtime tie against Delaware at rain-soaked UNCW Soccer Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Seahawks, who had their unbeaten streak extended to eight consecutive games, improved to 8-3-1 overall and 1-0-1 in the CAA. Delaware, which ended a two-game losing streak, moved its record to 5-5-1 overall and 0-1-1 in the CAA.
Guillou gave UNCW a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute when she scored on a one-timer inside the six-yard penalty area off assists from seniors
Maddie McCormick (Alexis I. DuPont H.S./Newark, Del.) and
Stephanie Bronson (Leesville H.S./Raleigh, N.C.).
With 23:12 left in the first half, the Blue Hens tied the game when sophomore defender
Michelle Burnett (Annandale H.S./Springfield, Va.) converted a crossing pass from freshman forward
Riley Curtin (Hershey H.S./Hershey, Pa.) for her second goal of the season.
Just over a minute into the second half, Guillou reclaimed the one-goal edge for the Seahawks when she made a long run past several Delaware defenders and scored on a 10-yard shot for her fifth goal of the season.
But, the Blue Hens evened the score again with 12:47 left in regulation as sophomore midfielder
Krista Trinidad (John F. Kennedy H.S./Merrick, N.Y.) tallied her second goal of the season on an assist from senior midfielder
Alison Stark (St. John's H.S./Kensington, Md.).
The Seahawks outshot Delaware by a 6-2 margin in the overtime periods, but sophomore goalkeeper
Kailyn Rekos (Groton Dunstable Regional H.S./Groton, Mass.) made two of her eight saves to preserve the tie for the Blue Hens.
Junior goalkeeper
Carolyn Huddy (Lake Norman Charter School/Huntersville, N.C.) tallied two saves for the Seahawks, who outshot Delaware by a commanding 25-10 margin.
Prior to the start of the game, the Seahawks were honored with a ceremonial kick-off from their adopted teammate
Baylee Adkins. Adkins took the kick-off and dribbled down the field before scoring a goal.
