After VCU dominated the 90-minute regulation period, Delaware gained control early in the first overtime and forced senior goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra (Woodbridge, Va.) to make a save in the first three minutes and then Andy Streilien poked home his fourth goal of the season off an assist from Demar Stephenson, just 3:13 into the first overtime to pick up the victory.

Sophomore Thomas Huepper (Olpe, Germany) led the way for the Rams unleashing six shots on the evening, while freshman Joseph Haboush (Beirut, Lebanon) got two shots on goal in his first career start.
