HARRISONBURG, VA -- Junior guard
Allison Trapp scored 12 of her game-high 18 points in
the second half as the University of Delaware overcame a
nine-point second half deficit to post a 59-55 Colonial
Athletic Association women's basketball victory over host
James Madison Sunday afternoon at the JMU Convocation
Center.
The Blue Hens (21-5, 14-3 CAA), who have
already wrapped up the No. 2 seed behind Old Dominion for
the CAA Tournament which begins in March, won their fourth
straight and were winners for the 13th time in the last 14
games.
Megan Dellegrotti and Christina
Rible each added 14 points for the Blue Hens, who will
close out the regular season this Friday at Hofstra
University in Hempstead, NY. Head coach Tina Martin,
now in her sixth season at the UD helm, will be going for
her 100th career victory in that game.
James Madison (15-11, 9-8) suffered its
fourth straight loss despite a big effort from guard Allyson
Keener, who scored a team-high 17 points and nailed five of
11 three-pointers. Forwards Nadine Morgan and Shanna Price
each contributed 14 points and six rebounds in the
loss.
"I'm proud of our team because we battled
back in a hostile environment," said Martin, who has led the
team to at least 21 wins for the third straight year. "We
got down early but we didn't hang our heads. We kept our
composure and pulled it out in the end."
The Hens shot just 28 percent from the
field (7 of 25) in the first half and fell behind 29-25 as
the host Dukes connected on 12 of 24 shots and led for all
but the first two minutes of stanza.
Trapp and Christine Cole (seven
points, nine rebounds) each hit two field goals in the first
three minutes of the second half to tie it up but JMU
recovered and went back up by as much as nine points at
44-35 with 10:03 left.
Again, the Hens came back as Trapp fueled
a 14-5 run with eight points as UD tied it up at 49-49 with
3:05 left and went ahead for good on a Lindsay Davis
bank shot from the top of the key, her only field goal of
the day, with 1:46 left.
Dellegrotti hit a tough, fall-away shot
in the lane with 55 seconds left and added two free throws
34 seconds later for a 57-53 lead. JMU guard Jess Cichowicz
hit a jumper with nine seconds left to cut the lead to two,
but Rible followed with two free throws to seal the
win.
