February 15, 2001 Johnson Sets Career Scoring Record as Blue Hens Roll
NEWARK, DE -- Senior guard Cindy Johnson (August Martin/Far Rockaway, NY) scored a game-high 24 points and became the University of Delaware's all-time leading scorer as the Blue Hens won their school record -tying 16th straight game with a 79-54 America East women's basketball victory over Towson Thursday night at the Bob Carpenter Center. Johnson, a two-time All-America East selection and a candidate for Player of the Year honors, hit on 8 of 17 shots from the field and converted all seven free throws for her 24 points. She hit a layup with 32 seconds left to play and followed with a free throw to up her career point total to 1,562, breaking the UD mark of 1,560 set by Colleen McNamara in 1991-95. Johnson scored 10 points in the final 1:52 of the game to set the record. The Blue Hens (21-3, 15-0), who have already clinched the America East regular season title and No. 1 seed in the upcoming league tournament, won their 16th straight game to tie the school record set by the 1980-81 club. Delaware also extended its home winning streak to 18 games and won its 23rd straight America East regular season game. Delaware put five scorers in double figures as Johnson scored 24, Megan Dellegrotti added 13 points, Christina Rible scored 12 points and pulled nine rebounds, Christine Cole had 11 points and nine rebounds, and Danielle Leyfert came off the bench to add 11 points. Lindsay Davis added six points, nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and three steals in another balanced effort. Towson (2-21, 2-13), which lost its sixth straight game, got 16 points from forward Jill McGowan but no other Tiger player scored more than seven points. Delaware led 40-23 at halftime and upped to the lead to 20 points early in the second half before the Tigers slowly moved back into the game. Towson cut the lead to eight points at 57-49 with 6:21 left to play, but the Hens responded with a 10-0 run to regain control. The Hens held a 50-36 margin on the boards and took advantage of 19 Towson turnovers. Towson shot just 34 percent from the field (19 of 55) and were just 5 of 21 from the three-point line. McGowan tied a school record with her 14 three-point attempts, connecting on four. AGATE: OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCORE -- G A M E T O T A L S
