DOVER, DE -- Behind 15 points apiece from Kestutis Marciulionis, and Billy Wells and 13 points from Greg Miller, Delaware defeated in-state rival Delaware State, 64-51, in men's basketball action Saturday at Memorial Hall.

The Blue Hens, who defeated the Hornets for the seventh straight meeting, raised their record to 6-1 on the season. Delaware State fell to 0-6.

Delaware also got another outstanding performance from 7-foot, 1-inch Ndongo Ndiaye. Ndiaye recorded seven blocks to go along with eight points and nine rebounds. Since being inserted into the starting line-up in place of the injured Darryl Presley, Ndiaye has 27 blocks in four games.

The Blue Hens took advantage of Delaware State's zone defense and bolted out to an 18-3 lead in the first seven minutes, sparked by three three-pointers by Marciulionis.

Delaware led by as many as 20 points in the second half before the Hornets closed to within eight points late. The Blue Hens, however, hit six of seven at the foul line in the final 1:15 to ice the victory.

Mike Pegues was held to six points, but tied a career-high with seven assists, giving him 202 for his career. He became only the second UD player to record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 200 assists joining Mark Murray.

Presley returned to the line-up for the first time since suffering a moderate concussion Nov. 23 against George Mason. Greeted by a standing ovation from the Delaware fans who made the trip downstate, Presley played 15 minutes off the bench and scored five points and grabbed five rebounds.

Delaware State got 13 points from Andre Matthews.

Delaware will host Vermont Saturday in the America East opener for the Blue Hens. Game time is 1 p.m.
