January 25, 2001 Leyfert Keys Record-Setting Victory for Blue Hens
NEWARK, DE -- Senior forward Danielle Leyfert scored a season-high 21 points and matched a career-high with 15 rebounds as the University of Delaware won its 10th straight game and set a school record for consecutive home wins with a 73-53 America East women's basketball victory over Maine Thursday night at the Bob Carpenter Center. Leyfert connected on 12 of 17 free throws to lead four players in double figure scoring as the Blue Hens (15-3, 9-0) tied a school record with their 13th straight home win and downed the Black Bears (6-12, 3-6) for the first time ever at home after nine straight losses. The Hens tied the school record for consecutive home wins set in 1983-84 and the team's 9-0 start in league play matches the school record set by the 1988-89 team when Delaware was a member of the East Coast Conference. The Black Bears, who have now lost to the Hens in three of the last four meetings, including a 84-59 loss in Orono, ME back on Dec. 10, were the last team to beat Delaware at home, downing Delaware 73-58 back on Jan. 4, 2000. Senior guard Cindy Johnson added 18 points, junior forward Christina Rible added 11 points and 12 rebounds, and Lindsay Davis came off the bench to add 11 points as the Blue Hens overcame 32.3 percent shooting (21 of 65) from the field. Maine, which had a two-game win streak snapped, got a huge effort from freshman center Heather Ernest who scored 25 points and tied a Bob Carpenter Center record with 19 rebounds for her league-leading 12th double-double of the season. Maine also got 10 points from guard Lacey Stone. The Black Bears, who committed 24 turnovers, shot just 28.6 percent from the field (16 of 56) for the game and just 16 percent (4 of 25) in the second half. Maine jumped out to a 18-9 lead in the first eight minutes of the game, but Delaware responded with a 16-4 run and never trailed again. Delaware held a 37-31 lead at halftime but could not pull away from the Black Bears until the final minutes of the game. Maine pulled to within six points at 55-49 with 4:12 on an Ernest free throw, but the Hens responded by making their final 14 free throws to ice the win. In all, the Blue Hens converted on 30 of 39 shots from the line, including 20 of 24 in the second half. AGATE: OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCORE -- G A M E T O T A L S
