TEANECK, N.J. – The FDU Knights (9-6, 5-2) cruised past Delaware State (0-15, 0-7)  by a score of 19-2 on Saturday at University Stadium.

The Knights made it a 10-0 game before Delaware State finally got on the board. FDU was able to respond with one more goal before the half as they took an 11-1 lead into the break.

Delaware State held FDU to just one goal in the third period, but the floodgates opened in the fourth. The Knights scored seven unanswered goals to cement the 19-2 goal.

This game saw first career goals for Abigail McDonald, Laura Mancinelli, Casey Koenig and Lydia Attisano. McDonald scored twice, while Attisano recorded a hat-trick.
