EVANSTON, Ill. - Northwestern suffered its first home loss of the season, falling to Delaware 2-1 at the Leonard B. Thomas Sports Complex.
The Wildcats (3-2-0) fell behind for the third game in a row when the Blue Hens' Amanda Warrington scored a goal only two and a half minutes into the contest, giving Delaware (5-2-0) a 1-0 lead.
NU's Katie Walshauser evened the count at 1-1 10 minutes later when she knocked a loose ball past Delaware goalkeeper Megan Allen.
