BALTIMORE – Damali Simon-Ponte scored the lone goal 3:57 into overtime, as Loyola University Maryland ended the non-conference portion of its schedule with a 1-0 defeat to Delaware at Ridley Athletic Complex on Sunday.

Simon-Ponte's game-winner, which was assisted by Caitlin St. Leger and Sara D'Appolonia, was an unstoppable shot into the top left corner from just outside the box for the Blue Hens (3-5-0).

The Greyhounds (3-4-1) suffered their first home defeat of the season. Baylee DeSmit and Sarah Bayer led Loyola's offensive effort with two shots apiece. The last of Bayer's shots was among the top scoring chances for the home side, as her curling effort was tipped away by a diving Lauren Krinsky in goal with 6:30 remaining in regulation.

Shots overall were 13-7 in favor of Delaware, while both sides earned five corner kicks. The Blue Hens had a 9-4 edge in shots after the intermission, including all three shot attempts in overtime.

Paige Sim made two saves in goal for Loyola, as her scoreless streak ended at 326:51 after recording shutouts over Fairleigh Dickinson and Howard in her previous two starts.

Little separated the two sides throughout the afternoon, as each team ended the contest with 50 percent of the possession. Delaware picked up its fourth-straight win in the series, as the teams faced off for the first time since 2016.

A new season starts for the Greyhounds next weekend, as they host Colgate in their Patriot League opener at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
