NEWARK, Del. — The Northeastern women's soccer team (5-5-1, 0-1-0 CAA) opened conference play at Delaware (2-8-0, 1-0-0 CAA) on Friday, falling to the Blue Hens in a tight, 2-1 overtime game at Grant Stadium.
 
After a scoreless first half, Delaware midfielder Mikala Kin was able to get on the board in the 54th minute to give the hosts the lead. The scoreline did not last long, however, as junior midfielder Hannah Lopiccolo responded with a goal of her own at 64:19.

The teams battled back and forth the rest of the half, before regulation expired with the score tied, 1-1. The Huskies opened the overtime period with a few promising scoring opportunities, including a clean shot by freshman forward Olivia Ware that soared just to the right of the net.

Later, Delaware forward Madison Brosler managed to race past the NU defense and score the game-winning goal in the 92nd minute.
