AMHERST, MA -- Chrissy Fisher (at right) knocked down a foul line jumper with just 14 seconds left to play as the University of Delaware women’s basketball squad continued its win streak with a 63-62 win over host University of Massachusetts Sunday at the Mullins Center.

Fisher, who finished with 10 points, helped Delaware (9-1) post its eighth straight victory overall and sixth straight road win and hand the Minutewomen their first home loss of the season. Massachusetts (9-3) had a streak of 10 straight home wins snapped. The streak was the 11th longest current win streak in NCAA Division I. Delaware has now defeated UMass in all three meetings.

Tyresa Smith led the Blue Hens with 20 points - her sixth 20-point effort of the season - to go with nine rebounds while Courtney Irving added 12 points and Kyle DeHaven contributed six assists and 10 points, including a big three-pointer with 1:13 left that gave the Hens a 61-59 advantage. Alena Koshansky added eight points and six assists. Smith, who also recorded six steals, moved into 10th place on the all-time UD scoring list with 1,192 points, passing Christina Rible (1998-2002) and Lisa Cano (1984-88).

Delaware native Kate Mills led four Massachusetts scorers in double figures with 14 points while Kim Benton added 14 points, including four second half three-pointers, Stefanie Gerardot contributed 12 points, and Pam Rosanio chipped in with 11 points.

“We are very happy with the win,” said Delaware head coach Tina Martin. “We lacked a spark defensively today but we executed at the end of the game which was most important.”

Massachusetts had taken a 62-61 lead with 25.4 seconds left when Benton nailed a three-pointer from the top of the key, but the Hens came right back and took the lead for good on Fisher’s clutch shot.

UMass got the ball back, but Irving forced a turnover by Benton and Fisher came up with the ball and was fouled with 4.4 seconds. Fisher missed the front end of the one and one opportunity and UMass rebounded, but Benton’s halfcourt shot bounced off the glass, giving the Hens the hard-fought victory.

Delaware used a 15-4 run to take the biggest lead of the day for either team at 25-15 with 7:25 left, but Massachusetts rallied with an 8-1 run of its own to get back in the game and took a 32-30 lead at halftime. Delaware went into halftime trailing for the first time since the Kentucky game back on Nov. 24.

The Minutewomen took a 53-48 lead with 8:58 left to play in the second half, but Koshansky nailed a three-pointers and Smith added a layup to tie things up at 53-53. Massachusetts responded with a 6-0 run to go back up 59-53, but Koshansky answered again with a three-pointers and Smith followed with another basket to narrow the lead down to 59-58.

DeHaven hit a three-pointer from the corner to give Delaware the lead at 61-59 with 1:13 remaining. The Hens stopped UMass on the next possession but gave the ball back on a botched inbounds play. The Minutewomen took advantage, going back up 62-61 on Benton’s wide-open three-pointers from the top of the key. But the lead was short-lived as the Hens came down and got the game-winner from Fisher.
