Weekly Notes
 
PHILADELPHIA - Good things come to those who wait.  The Explorers had to endure a two-hour weather delay last Friday against Rutgers before learning their season-opener had been washed out due to rain. 

Then on Sunday at Delaware, the team made two trips back to the bus to wait out lightning delays in a weather-shortened 2-0 victory over the Blue Hens to open their season in abrupt style. 

The Explorers (1-0-0) now turn their sights towards a city-rival, Drexel, as the team plays their home opener under the Friday night lights of McCarthy Stadium. 

"There is a lot of excitement and buzz surrounding our program on campus," said head coach Paul Royal.  "The girls are excited to play in front of our home crowd."

The Dragons (0-1-0) also were at Yurcak Field on Monday and fell to Rutgers 1-0 in the season-opener for both teams. 

Sophomore all-conference striker Renee Washington scored both goals for the Explorers in Sunday's victory and has now tallied 14 in her career. Fellow all A-10 teammate Jess Hopton also doubled up with two assists.

Senior Melissa Sanger had a stellar game in net against the Blue Hens and made six saves en route to the clean sheet. 

Drexel won the previous matchup between these two clubs last September in a 2-0 decision.  The victory broke a string of seven straight losses to La Salle.
