LONG BRANCH, NJ -- Senior Cindy Johnson scored a game-high 25 points and the Delaware defense forced 30 turnovers as the Blue Hens evened their record at 1-1 on the season with a 76-54 win at Monmouth Saturday afternoon.

The Blue Hens, who lost their opener at George Washington in the Pre-season WNIT, bounced back to handle the Hawks easily. After leading by seven at the intermission, 33-26, Delaware used a 19-5 run to open up the second half and take a 21-point lead, 52-31. Monmouth closed to within 13 with an 8-0 run. However, Delaware's 60-47 lead at that point would never get any smaller.

"We played well enough to win," said Delaware coach Tina Martin. "We're happy to get a win, but we have to get better. Our man-to-man defense caused them problems today and that was the difference."

Johnson, who set a UD opening game record with 31 points in the loss to George Washington, hit 9 of 17 from the field and 7 of 9 at the foul line. She moved into No. 7 on the all-time UD scoring list with 1,209 career points. The Far Rockaway, NY native moved ahead of Lisa Cano and became the highest scoring guard in Blue Hen women's basketball history.

Christina Rible added a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds, while Danielle Leyfert had 13 points and six steals and Megan Dellegrotti chipped in with 12 points and four assists.

Meanwhile, the Blue Hens' defense forced 30 Hawk turnovers and 9 of 31 shooting from the field in the second half. Amanda Rosato, Monmouth's top returning scorer, had just five points in the first half and finished the day with 16 points of 5 of 13 shooting.

The Blue Hens spoiled the debut of Jackie DeVane in her first game as head coach at Monmouth after previously coaching at Delaware State.

Delaware returns to action at the Terrapin Classic next weekend in College Park, MD. The Blue Hens face Long Beach State Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. Maryland hosts Wagner in the first game of the tournament at 2 p.m.
