Junior Becky Gohsler exploded for a career-high six goals as Delaware defeated Georgetown, 10-9, in the season lid-lifter for both squads at Delaware Stadium. Her goal and point totals doubled her previous career-best. Gohsler also tied a career-high with three ground balls. She became the first Blue Hen to record at least six goals in the season opener since 1988.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
Alexis Zadjura • No. RV Elon University

Junior Alexis Zadjura led an Elon defensive unit that held No. 13/14 Virginia off balance and led to a 11-10 upset of the Cavaliers. Going up against goal scorers like Kasey Behr (Virginia's leading scorer in 2016 with 38 goals), Kelly Reese and Besser Dyson, Zadjura and the Elon defense held all three with just two goals apiece to help Elon to its second-ever victory over a nationally-ranked program. The Cavalier trio represented three of Virginia's top four goal scorers returning in 2017. At the end of the day, Zadjura finished with three draw controls, two ground balls and two caused turnovers.
