WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – Summer Reimet's ninth goal of the season proved to be the difference maker as the Monmouth University women's soccer team battled for a 1-0 win over the University of Delaware in Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) play on Sunday afternoon. 
 
The Hawks picked up their third CAA win of the season while handing Delaware its first conference loss of the year.
 
Both teams had their chances in the first 20 minutes of this contest. Cassie Coster came up with a stop and the Hawks' backline cleared another ball out of the box to keep Delaware off the board. Reimet had a shot sail just high for the Hawks.
 
Kyla Burns got a hand on Chloe Ferreira's shot just before the break as the Hawks and Blue Hens went into the half tied at 0-0.
 
The second half looked much like the first as both teams had their opportunities, but neither was able to capitalize until the 87:40 mark. Lauren Bruno played a well placed ball to the top left hand side of the box. Reimet settled the pass and fired one home for the goal and a 1-0 lead. 
 
Monmouth got one more shot off as the Hawks continued to pressure while closing out the victory.
