Delaware 71, New Hampshire 55 December 8, 2000 Cindy Johnson DURHAM, NH -- Senior Cindy Johnson scored a game-high 17 points and Christina Rible added 15 points and 13 rebounds as University of Delaware defeated New Hampshire, 71-55, in America East women's basketball action at Whittemore Center Friday night. The win moved Delaware to 3-0 in America East play for the first time since joining the league in 1991-92. The last time Delaware was 3-0 in conference play was 1990-91 as a member of the East Coast Conference. "It was a good road victory," said Delaware coach Tina Martin. "When we had to, we got defensive stops and connected on big shots in the last seven minutes." New Hampshire (2-5, 0-1 America East) jumped out to an 8-0 lead to start the game before the Blue Hens (6-3 overall) went on a 28-8 run to take control of the game. The Wildcats pulled within four at 49-45. However, Delaware scored 12 of the next 15 points, capped by a Carrie Timmins three-pointer, which was her only field goal of the night, with 3:54 to play to put the game out of reach. The Blue Hens continued their free throw proficiency. Delaware shot 21 for 29 from the free throw line and has now made 208 of 292 through the first nine games this season. Beginning play Thursday, Boston University was the only America East team that had gone to the line more than 200 times. Johnson, a native of Far Rockaway, NY, played all 40 minutes in the contest and added seven rebounds. She now has 1,290 career points, fifth-best in school history and 270 points behind all-time leader Colleen McNamara. Senior Danielle Leyfert also added 15 points, shooting 7 for 11 at the free throw line for Delaware. Delaware continues on its weekend road trip with a game against Maine at Alfond Arena Sunday afternoon. Game time is 12 noon.
