January 14, 1999 NEWARK, DE -- Karen Mulligan (Ronkonkama, N.Y./ Connetquot) had a career-high 21 points and set the UD record for most consecutive field goals with 11 to help lead Delaware to a 76-67 victory over defending America East regular season champion Vermont. Mulligan went 5-5 against Boston University on Monday and started tonight's game 6-6 to set the previous record of eight held by Marian Moorer who set the record Feb. 2-5, 1987. Delaware, who has now started out the season 5-0 at home and won six straight games at the Bob Carpenter Center, was knotted at 18 apiece with Vermont until they went 23-6 run to open up the game. Mulligan had 15 of the 23 points during the course of the run. Delaware led 43-28 going into halftime. Vermont cut the lead down to six twice in the second half, including 69-63 with 3:32 left in the second half before the hens hit seven of their last 10 free throws to pull away. Freshman Megan Dellegrotti (Berwick, Pa./ Berwick) continued her strong return from her foot injury with 12 points while Cindy Johnson (Far Rockaway, N.Y./ August Martin) also chipped in with 12. Freshman Christina Rible (Little Silver, N.J./Red Bank Regional) led Delaware in rebounds for the second game in a row with six boards. Vermont was led by last year's America East Player of the Year Karalyn Church who had 20 points, but was held to only three rebounds on the game. Libby Smith also contributed for the Catamounts with 10 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Delaware will be in action next when they take on Hartford at 1 p.m. at the Bob Carpenter Center on Saturday January 16.
