RALEIGH, NC -- The record-setting
University of Delaware women's basketball squad stayed close
for a half in its first venture into the NCAA Tournament
before host North Carolina State used its quickness and
timely outside shooting to pull away for a 76-57 victory in
the first round of the NCAA East Regional Tournament Friday
night at Reynolds Coliseum.
No. 19 ranked North Carolina State,
making its 16th NCAA Tournament appearance, advances to the
second round where the No. 4 seed Wolfpack will face No. 5
seed Villanova, which downed No. 12 Drake 66-58 in the other
first round game.
No. 13 seed Delaware, which captured its
first America East title last week and was making its
initial appearance in the NCAA Tournament, had a four-game
win streak snapped and finished the best season in school
history with a mark of 26-5. Along the way the Hens set
numerous records, including marks for wins in a season (26),
consecutive wins (17), and consecutive road wins
(9).
Senior guard Cindy Johnson (August
Martin/Far Rockaway, NY) capped an outstanding career with a
team-high 20 points to lead the Blue Hens. Delaware's
all-time leading scorer with 1,675 points, she also set a UD
career mark for field goals (647) and a single season mark
for points scored (520) during the game. Senior forward
Danielle Leyfert (Oakton/Vienna, VA) added 12 points
for the Hens, finishing with 1,447 points to rank fifth
all-time at UD.
Amy Simpson came off the bench to lead
North Carolina State with 17 points, including four
three-pointers, and Tynesha Lewis, Ivy Gardner, and Christen
Greene each added 10 points.
"It was a tough game for us, but I'm so
proud of our basketball team and the strides that we have
made this season," said Delaware head coach Tina
Martin. "N.C. State is a great team. We tried to make
them shoot the outside jumper and it worked for about 15
minutes until Simpson hit some big three-pointers for them.
I thought we gave a great effort tonight and although we
didn't execute at times, I am very proud of what this team
accomplished."
Delaware played the Wolfpack straight up
for most of the first half, taking a 11-7 lead six minutes
into the game. The Hens led 20-18 before North Carolina
State tied the score at 20-20 with 8:40 left to play. That
would be the last time the Blue Hens held a share of the
lead as the Wolfpack embarked on a 23-6 run over the two
halves to take control.
Simpson nailed three three-pointers in
the final 2:52 of the first half to give North Carolina
State a 36-27 halftime lead and the Wolfpack opened the
second half on a 7-0 run to put the game away. Delaware
pulled to within 14 points at 61-47 with 8:28 left, but
could never get closer. North Carolina State never led by
more than 22 points.
North Carolina State shot 54 percent from
the field (31 of 57) and outrebounded the Blue Hens 38-28.
Delaware committed only 10 turnovers, but was hurt by 36.4
percent field goal shooting (20 of 55).
