Blue Hens Use Inside Game, Clutch Foul Shooting to Down Towson 63-52 for 11th Straight Victory

DATE: January 20, 2005

TOWSON, MD -- Forward Tiffany Young (right) came off the bench to score a season-high 19 points and pull nine rebounds, guard Tyresa Smith added 14 points, and forward Tiara Malcom chipped in with 12 points as the University of Delaware women's basketball team posted its 11th straight victory with a 63-52 Colonial Athletic Association victory over host Towson Thursday night at the Towson Center.

The Blue Hens improved to 13-2 overall and remained unbeaten in CAA play with a mark of 6-0. Delaware, which has not lost since early December, has posted its longest winning streak since the 2000-01 season when the Hens won 17 straight on the way to an America East conference title and NCAA Tournament berth.

Towson, which got 18 points and 10 rebounds from forward Tierra Jackson, fell to 11-6 (4-2 CAA) and was hurt by 33 percent shooting from the field, including hitting just 6 of 28 first half shots. The Tigers were also outscored 26-11 at the foul line. Kelli Talbot and Kelly Robinson each added 10 points for Towson.

Young hit on 5 of 8 shots from the field and 9 of 10 free throws to pace the Blue Hen inside game. Smith also added four assists and Malcom pulled down five rebounds and posted four steals before fouling out late in the game. The Hens hit 26 of 36 free throws but were especially accurate in the second half when they hit on 22 of 28 from the charity stripe, including 10 of 12 in the final minutes.

"Tiffany and Tiara really stepped up today and got the job done," said Delaware head coach Tina Martin, whose team defeated Towson for the ninth straight time since the 1999-2000 season. "This was a tough, physical game and Towson can push you around underneath. But we showed the right mentality to compete inside and get the job done. I'm proud of the way we played tonight."

Towson scored the first basket of the game but that was the only time Delaware would trail all evening. The Hens took advantage of poor Towson shooting in the first stanza and took a 25-15 lead into intermission when guard Alena Koshansky buried a three-pointer with 15 seconds left in the half.

The Hens led by double-digits for most of the second half and extended the lead to as much as 14 points several times, including a 53-39 margin with 5:17 remaining when Young converted two free throws.

But Towson battled back by scoring the next eight points with Jackson scoring six and Robinson hitting a layup with 1:53 remaining to cut the margin to 53-47. Delaware didn't hit another field goal, but recovered anyway by hitting 10 of 12 free throws the rest of the way, including four from Smith, for the 11-point victory.
