Delaware
Opens California Swing with 67-58 Setback
to St. Mary's
Date:
December 2, 2004
MORAGA,
CA --
St. Mary's closed the first half on a 14-3
run and the University of Delaware could
never recover as the Blue Hens opened up
their two-game California swing with a
67-58 non-league men's basketball loss
Thursday night at the McKeon
Pavilion.
The Hens,
playing in California for the first time
since a 1994 trip to the University of
California Santa Barbara Tournament, did
end the game on an 18-4 run but it wasn't
enough as Delaware (2-2) had a two-game
win streak snapped. Junior forward Harding
Nana hit on 9 of 13 shots from the field
and finished with 21 points and five
rebounds to pace the Hens.
Mike
Slattery, Raphael Madera, and Rulon
Washington all chipped in with seven
points for the Blue Hens with Slattery
adding five assists, good enough to move
him into 10th place on the all-time
Colonial Athletic Association charts with
457.
St.
Mary's, a member of the West Coast
Conference, got 19 points and five
three-pointers from guard E.J. Rowland to
improve to 5-3 on the season. The Gaels
also got 14 points from forward Daniel
Kickert and 11 points and nine rebounds
from center Frederic Adjiwanou. Rowland
hit on 5 of 9 shots from beyond the
three-point arc after entering the season
hitting just 5 of 17.
"This was
a game of runs and late in the first half
we committed too many turnovers," said
Delaware head coach David Henderson. "They
did a good job on capitalizing on those
mistakes. However, we played much better
in the second half and I saw some positive
things that we can build upon."
Delaware
trailed by just three points at 28-25 with
6:13 left in the first half but the Gaels
exploded on a 14-3 run to end the half and
took a 42-28 lead into intermission. St.
Mary's continued the momentum to begin the
second half as well, outscoring the Blue
Hens 21-12 to up the lead to
63-40.
The Blue
Hens, who connected on just 2 of 11 shots
from beyond the three-point line for the
game, never got closer than 10 points
until their final basket as they finished
the game with an 18-4 run.
The Blue
Hens will return to action Saturday night
when they take on the Dons of the
University of San Francisco at 10 a.m.
Eastern time.
