Field Hockey prepares for CAA tournament

The Hens' loss to Drexel yesterday left Delaware ranked second in the conference. The Hens finished the regular season with a 12-5, (6-2 Colonial Athletic Association) record, which is a tremendous improvement upon last year's finish. On Saturday, Delaware will host James Madison University, who the Hens defeated, 2-1, earlier this season, but who just edged out Northeastern University, one of only two conference teams to defeat Delaware this year, in double overtime.

Should they defeated JMU again, the Hens will face the winner of the Drexel-Hofstra matchup in the CAA championship game on Sunday afternoon. The last game showed they want it. The Hens scrambled to outshoot Drexel 14-11, in the 4-2 decision. Eight different Delaware players had shots on goal. The effort was there Friday, the Delaware just needs to finish in their upcoming (let's be optimistic) games.
