.jpg) Washington
and Slattery Lead Comeback as Blue Hens
Down Loyola 63-60
DATE:
November 29, 2004
BALTIMORE,
MD -- The University of Delaware's
backcourt combination of Andrew Washington
and Mike Slattery (right) combined for 46
of the Blue Hens' 63 points and keyed as
second half comeback for a 63-60
non-league men's basketball victory over
host Loyola Monday night at Reitz Arena.
Delaware
(2-1), which won its second straight game,
overcame a 35-27 halftime deficit and some
cold outside shooting to post the victory.
Washington, a junior transfer from Allen
(KS) Community College, scored a
career-high 26 points and Slattery added
20 to pace the Blue Hens, who shot just 39
percent from the field and managed to hit
just 1 of 13 shots from the beyond the
three-point line.
Loyola,
which suffered its second straight
three-point loss to fall to 0-4, had a
chance to send the game into overtime but
Charlie Bell, who led the Greyhounds with
16 points, misfired on a three-pointer
from the top of the key to end the game.
Delaware
had iced the victory when Harding Nana,
who had eight points and a career-high 14
rebounds, connected on two free throws
with 21 seconds left and Washington hit on
one of two shots from the foul line with
seven seconds left to play.
"We
did some good things in the second half
and used our defense to get back in it,"
said Delaware head coach David Henderson,
whose squad will travel to West to take on
St. Mary's and San Francisco this weekend.
"We stayed with it and fought through some
things to pick up a win on the road, which
is important for us right now. We grew a
little tonight and we gutted it
out."
The
Blue Hens trailed for most of the first
half but tied the game late in the half at
27-27. But Loyola took off on 8-0 run to
end the session and took a 35-27 lead into
intermission.
But
just like that the Hens rebounded in the
second half, scoring the first eight
points of the stanza to knot the score at
35-25. Loyola regained the lead at 38-36
with 13:23 left to play, but the Hens took
off on a decisive 11-4 run to take the
lead for good at 47-42 with 8:33 left to
play. Slattery, a pre-season All-Colonial
Athletic Association senior guard who also
dished out four assists, scored all 11
points in the run to lead the Blue Hens.
The Hens did the job defensively, holding
the Greyhounds to just four field goals in
the first 15 minutes of the second half.
After
Nana's two free throws with 21 seconds
left upped the lead to 62-58, Loyola came
back to cut the margin to two points on a
layup by Shane James with 8.4 seconds
remaining. Washington then iced the win
with his free throw before Bell's last
second shot missed the mark.
