TOWSON, MD - Jill McGowan came off the bench to score a game-high 16 points, including four three-pointers, as host Towson University broke open a close game in the second half on the way to a 68-54 America East women's basketball victory over the University of Delaware Sunday at the Towson Center. The Blue Hens (6-4, 0-2 America East), who had a three-game winning streak snapped, got 15 points and 13 rebounds from forward Renee Baker and 14 points from Cindy Johnson, but leading scorer Danielle Leyfert was held without a field goal and scored just two points.
