February 2, 2001 Seven score in double-figures as Hens' roll
HEMPSTEAD, NY -- The University of Delaware set a school-record for balance with seven players scoring in double-figures as it extended its winning streak to 12 straight with an 83-73 win over Hofstra in America East women's basketball action at Hofstra Arena. The Blue Hens, who moved to 17-3 for only the third time in school history and 11-0 in America East play, got double-figure scoring from Danielle Leyfert (14 points), Christina Rible (13), Cindy Johnson (12), Allison Trapp (12), Megan Dellegrotti (10), Christine Cole (10) and Tracey Howell (career-high 10). Rible also added a game-high 13 rebounds for her 11th double-double this season and fifth consecutive. "Having seven players in double figures is a great statement for our team," said Delaware coach Tina Martin, who picked up her first-ever win in Hempstead. "Our free throw shooting was outstanding, especially in the second half (24 for 27 overall, 16 for 17 in the second half). I am very happy to get another road win in America East play." Behind the three-point shooting of Jen Brickey, Hofstra lit up the Delaware defense in the first half. The Pride (7-12, 4-7) jumped out to a 43-38 halftime lead as Brickey hit 5 for 10 from three-point range. The 43 points were the most Delaware has allowed in a first half this season and the most since December 9, 1999 when they gave up 44 to Vermont. Hofstra extended that lead to 47-38 to start the second half before Delaware rallied with a 22-7 run. Megan Dellegrotti got the run started with a three-pointer with 18:25 left and when it was all said and done six minutes later, the Blue Hens held a 60-52 lead. Delaware made another run to put the game away. Leading 64-60, the Blue Hens went on a 15-4 spurt to take a 79-64 lead with 1:55 left and coasted the rest of the way. Brickey was held to just 1 for 2 from behind the arc in the second half and finished with a game-high 24 points. Delaware also picked up its eight straight road win, its longest road winning streak since 1988-89. Delaware's 17-3 start equals that of the 1980-81 and 1983-84 teams. The 12-game winning streak is tied for the second longest in the nation behind top-ranked Notre Dame and is four shy of the UD record of 16 straight. Delaware returns home to host Drexel Sunday at 4 p.m., where a UD women's basketball single-game record crowd is expected to greet the Blue Hens. The game will also be televised on the America East Television Network (CN-8 and Home Team Sports locally). AGATE OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCORE -- G A M E T O T A L S
