WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Redshirt sophomore Sarah Segan scored a pair of goals to lift the William & Mary women's team to a 2-1 victory over Colonial Athletic Association foe Delaware in double overtime on Sunday afternoon at Martin Family Stadium. With the win the Tribe improves 5-8-2, 1-3-2 in CAA play, while the Blue Hens fall to 5-8-2, 2-4-0 in league action.
 
The match started perfectly for W&M as Segan netted her first goal in just the contest's second minute. Junior Claire Robbins flicked a ball just outside of the box on the left side of the field. Senior Rachel Moore was there and pushed the ball back to the middle. Waiting there was Segan, who scored into an empty net, putting W&M out to a 1-0 lead.
 
However, the Blue Hens found the equalizer late in the second half. After the Tribe cleared the ball out play, Delaware was awarded a corner kick. Andrea Gunderson took the kick and bent her shot into the far corner of the goal to level the score.
 
Segan came through in the second overtime with the winner. After the Tribe outshot the Blue Hens 4-0 in the first overtime, junior Haley Kent won the ball in the second minute of the second extra frame. Kent sent a pass to Segan, who dribbled a few steps, before she uncorked the winner into the top left of the goal. The Fogelsville, Pa. native's seventh goal of the season secured the 2-1 win for W&M.
