COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Marche Strickland's three-pointer with 15 seconds to play was the difference as Maryland held off Delaware, 71-70, in the championship game of the Terrapin Classic at Cole Fieldhouse Sunday afternoon. After trailing by as many as 18 midway through the first half, Delaware led 69-64 with 58 seconds to play. Two Maryland free throws cut the lead to three with 43 seconds left. Junior guard Allison Trapp was fouled immediately and connected on the first foul shot. However, she missed the second and Christina Rible fouled the Terps' Deedee Warley on the rebound. Warley hit both of those free throws to make it a 70-68 game with 41 seconds remaining. Sophomore Carrie Timmins was fouled to stop the clock with 30 seconds left, but missed both foul shots. Strickland then came down and nailed her fifth-three pointer of the afternoon to give the Terps a one-point lead. Delaware had two chances to win it. After the Terps deflected a Delaware pass out of bounds, Blue Hen senior Danielle Leyfert missed a 10-footer in the lane with six seconds left. Leyfert got her own rebound and followed it from the same spot. The shot, however, hit the back of the rim as time expired. "It was a great basketball game," said Delaware coach Tina Martin. "When it started we were timid. But, as the game wore on, we started playing with confidence and the way we are capable of playing." Delaware, playing without leading scorer Cindy Johnson who had suffered a sprained ankle in Saturday's win over Long Beach State, played from behind early. The Terrapins, 4-0 for the first time since 1991-92, jumped out to a 24-6 lead in the first 10:30. The run was sparked by Strickland, who scored 10 of the team's first 14 points and finished with a game-high 23 to earn Terrapin Classic MVP honors. However, Delaware (2-2) rallied to cut the deficit to 38-27 by intermission. The Blue Hens took their first lead of the game when they scored 10 straight points to turn a seven point Maryland lead into a 62-59 Delaware advantage with 4:30 to play. Timmins' three-pointer with 5:16 left put Delaware ahead for the first time, 60-59. Rible led Delaware with 17 points and nine rebounds, while Leyfert added 15 points and eight rebounds. Trapp, making her first start in place of the injured Johnson, recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds and added five assists. Warley finished the game with 17 points, shooting just 2 for 10 from the field, but connecting on 13 of 16 at the foul line. Leyfert and Lindsay Davis were named to the all-tournament team along with Warley and Strickland. Delaware will travel to Princeton Wednesday for a 7:30 p.m. contest at Jadwin Gym. Johnson, who had a string of 69 straight starts and 86 consecutive games played broken on Sunday, is listed as questionable for that game. Prior to Sunday, she had not missed a start since January 24, 1998 and had appeared in every game in her collegiate career. AGATE:
