January 14, 2001 Dellegrotti Keys Blue Hen Comeback With Career Day
BOSTON -- Junior Megan Dellegrotti (Berwick, PA HS) scored seven of her career-high 20 points in a 13-0 run to open the second half as the University of Delaware rallied for a 72-59 America East women's basketball victory over Boston University Sunday afternoon at Case Gymnasium. The Blue Hens (13-3, 7-0 America East) won their eighth straight game and extended their America East regular season win streak to 15 games, breaking the school record of 14 straight wins when UD was a member of the East Coast Conference in 1983-85. Delaware's 7-0 start in league play is the best since a 9-0 start in 1988-89 in the East Coast Conference. Boston University, which lost its fourth straight game, fell to 5-10 (2-4) and lost to the Blue Hens for the sixth straight time and for the 11th time in the last 12 meetings. Freshman Katie Terhune had 13 points, seven rebounds, and five assists while Marisa Moseley added 13 points and Alison Argentieri came off the bench to score 10 points. Danielle Leyfert added 15 points for the Blue Hens while Christina Rible had 14 points and 10 rebounds for her sixth double-double in seven league games this season. Leading scorer Cindy Johnson (19.2 ppg) was held to just 11 points. Dellegrotti, who hit 3 of 5 three-pointers and also had six rebounds and four assists, surpassed her previous high of 18 points two other times. "Boston University came out with a lot of pressure in the first half and we didn't handle it well," said Delaware head coach Tina Martin. "At halftime we made some adjustments and just came out and executed better in the second half." Boston University jumped out to a 29-21 halftime lead as the Hens struggled coming out of the gates, hitting just eight field goals and committing 14 turnovers in the opening stanza. The second half was a completely different story for the Hens. Delaware opened the half on a 13-0 run as Dellegrotti netted seven points and the Hens held the Terriers scoreless for the first three and a half minutes. By that time, Delaware held a 34-29 lead and would never trail again. Delaware turned the ball over just three times in the second half and hit on 17 of 32 shots from the field (.531). Boston University did cut the deficit to 40-38 with 12:24 left to play, but the Hens answered again with a 6-0 run to go back up 46-38 10:40 left. The Terriers never got closer than six the remainder of the contest. Delaware will return to action next Saturday when it travels to last place Towson (1-14, 1-6) for a 5:30 p.m. tip-off at the Towson Center. AGATE: OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCORE -- G A M E T O T A L S
