Delaware 78, High Point 63 December 6, 2001 Blue Hen Balance Keys Comeback Ryan Iversen came off the bench to score 15 points, pull eight rebounds, and dish out five assists HIGH POINT, NC - Sophomore guard Mike Ames keyed a second half comeback with two three points and was one of five Blue Hen players in double figures as the University of Delaware got past host High Point 78-63 in a non-league men's basketball game Thursday night at the Millis Center. Ames led an 11-0 early in the second half that brought back the Hens (3-3) from a seven-point deficit and propelled them to the win. High Point, which got 19 points each from guards Joe Knight and Dustin Van Weerdhuisen, fell to 3-4. It was the first ever meeting between the two schools. For Delaware, Austen Rowland scored 15 points and dished out six assists, Ryan Iversen came off the bench to add 15 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, and Ames and Robin Wentt each chipped in with 11 points to lead a balanced effort. The Hens started slow and fell behind 36-33 at halftime. High Point scored the first two baskets of the second half to go up 40-33, prompting a timeout by UD head coach David Henderson. From there, it was all Delaware. Ames hit two three-pointers as part of an 11-0 run that put the Hens up 44-40. After High Point pulled to within a point at 47-46 with 12:52 left, Ames hit another big three as part of a 14-5 run that put the Hens up 61-51. Delaware converted on 16 of 26 shots from the field in the second half while High Point could manage just 9 of 26 shooting (.346). The Hens also held a commanding 43-21 advantage on the boards. The Hens' backcourt contributed 31 second half points. "We got off to a slow start, but we made some changes and came out fired up after that timeout," said Henderson, who made a triumphant return to his home state. "From that point on our defense took over. We played great team defense and we dominated the boards and that was the difference. We also got a great effort from Ryan Iversen who responded well in his first game off the bench this year. He is a real competitor." Delaware will continue its two-game North Carolina swing Saturday night when the Hens take on 2001 NCAA Tournament qualifier UNC Greensboro.
