NEWARK, DE - Sophomore Megan Dellegrotti fired six three-point field goals enroute to a new school record as the University of Delaware pounded Princeton University, 74-43 in women's basketball, Tuesday night at the Bob Carpenter Center. Dellegrotti matched her career high of 18 points, scoring all six of her field goals from behind the three-point arc to lead the Hens. Dellegrotti set a new school record for three-point field goals made in a game with six, breaking the old record of five (five tied with five). She also breaks the individual three-point attempts record (16 by Dellegrotti-old mark 11). Co-captain Christine Koren made her first start of her Delaware career by adding 17 points and four rebounds. Cindy Johnson and co-captain Renee Baker led the way on the boards by grabbing nine each. Delaware (2-0) took the lead for good at 14:37 remaining in first half. Princeton (0-3) was led by its senior guard Maggie Langlas, who scored in double figures with 11 points. As a team, Delaware set a new mark for three-point field goals made in a game with 11. The old record was eight against the University of Maine, set on February 13, 1997. Also, Delaware sets a new record for three-point attempts with 34 (old mark of 20). Delaware has now won three consecutive games at the Bob Carpenter Center and 13 of the last 15. The Blue Hens will not return to the Bob Carpenter until December 20 when they host Morgan State. Delaware travels to Lafayette College on Monday for a 5:45 p.m. start.
