Drexel 97, Delaware 89 February 9, 2002   Mike Ames scored a career-high 33 points for the Blue Hens PHILADELPHIA -- Sophomore guard Mike Ames scored a career-high 33 points, including a school-record six three-pointers in the first half, but it was not enough as Drexel had six players in double-figures and held off several runs for a 97-89 Colonial Athletic Association win Saturday afternoon at the Daskalakis Center. Ames scored 21 of his points in the first half, 18 of which came on six three-pointers to set a UD record. Mike Pegues and Tyrone Perry had previously hit five three-pointers in a half. It was the first time a Blue Hen had scored 20 points in a half since Pegues' 24 in a win over American on Nov. 27, 1999. Eric Schmieder led Drexel in scoring and had a triple-double. Schmieder's 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists made for the first triple-double by a Dragon since former NBA-er Michael Anderson did it in 1987. Schmieder was 14 for 17 from the free throw line. Ames, the CAA Player of the Week last week, finished the day 11 for 18 from the field and 7 for 13 from three-point range. The seven three-pointers was one shy of Billy Wells' school record set last year. As a team, Delaware was 12 for 26 from three-point range. Drexel (12-11, 9-5) opened up a 26-14 lead midway through the first half. Ames, however, scored 11 straight points to pull Delaware to within 35-31 with 6:21 left in the first half. Three minutes later, Ames knocked down his sixth three-pointer of the first half from the top of the key to pull the Blue Hens to within one, 39-38. However, Drexel would go on a 13-3 run that closed out the first half and opened the second half to take a 52-41 lead. Delaware got back to within five, 58-53, on a Mike Slattery drive with 12:23 remaining. Again, though, the Dragons, who are now 6-0 in home conference games this season, moved the lead back out to double-figures. Phil Goss' three-pointer with 7:24 left gave Drexel a 79-68 lead. Delaware (10-13, 6-7) would not go away, though. Austen Rowland's three-pointer with 1:28 left pulled Delaware to within 90-84. However, Rowland missed a three-pointer on Delaware's next possession and Drexel hit 9 out of 10 at the line over the final 2:51, including 5 out of 6 by Schmieder, to put the game away. Drexel shot 54.7% from the field, marking the third consecutive game the Blue Hens allowed a team to shoot better than 50% from the field. Delaware heads to Towson for a 7:30 p.m. contest Wednesday.   Delaware vs Drexel (2/9/02 at Philadelphia, Pa.)
