Delaware 67, New Hampshire 41

January 24, 1999


NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware held New Hampshire without a field goal for over 13 minutes and used a 17-0 run between the first and second half to post a 67-41 America East men's basketball victory Sunday at the Bob Carpenter Center.

Delaware (13-5, 6-3), which won at home for the 15th time in the last 16 home, got 14 points from junior forward Mike Pegues while junior guard Kestutis Marciulionis came off the bench to add 13 points and junior guard John Gordon chipped in with 12 points. New Hampshire's 41 points were the lowest allowed by the Blue Hens in a league game since joining the conference in 1991-92.

Delaware, which had a 15-game home win streak snapped in Friday's 70-59 loss to Maine, countered 39 percent shooting (23 of 59) with a season-low 10 turnovers to down UNH.

Sophomore forward Ethan Cole scored 10 points and had eight rebounds to lead New Hampshire (3-14, 1-8), which lost for the 14th time in the last 15 games. The Wildcats committed 24 turnovers and shot just 27 percent from the field (15 of 56) for the game. Junior guard Carmen Maciariello added nine points for the Wildcats.

New Hampshire took a 16-15 lead on a Cole layup with 6:34 left to play in the first half, but that would be the last lead the Wildcats would enjoy. The Blue Hens closed the half on a 10-0 run and opened the second half with a 16-1 spurt to put the game away.

After Cole's basket with 6:34 left in the opening half, New Hampshire didn't hit another field goal until Maciariello scored a basket with 13:18 left to play, ending a drought than consumed 13 minutes and 16 seconds.

New Hampshire is now 0-11 vs. Delaware in Newark and 0-10 in all games at the Bob Carpenter Center, the site of the America East Tournament.
