POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The Blue Hens held Marist to just three points in the final period Thursday evening en route to a 56-50 victory at McCann Arena.
For the second consecutive game, Delaware had three players in double figures while freshman Nicole Enabosi (Gaithersburg, Md./Our Lady of Good Counsel) registered another double double for the Hens (2-0). The forward collected 10 points and 13 rebounds in addition to three blocks in 33 minutes of play.
Junior Erika Brown (Paterson, N.J./John F. Kennedy) led UD with 16 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field to go along with five assists while senior Courtni Green (Winchester, Va./Millbrook) added 12 points with four rebounds, three assists and two steals.
The Red Foxes (0-3) jumped out to an 18-9 lead in the first quarter, but the Blue Hens bounced back and took the 33-30 advantage into halftime.
The third quarter also belonged to Marist, but Delaware would not back down in the fourth and contained the Red Foxes to just one point in the final 7:45 of play.
Tori Jarosz led all scorers with 20 points and 12 rebounds with two blocked shots for Marist.
“I can't say enough about these kids and their tenacity. This is a very small gym and we knew it was going to be a great crowd with everyone on top of you. It was a tough environment, but they kept it together. We had some breakdowns, but our kids paid attention to the coaching staff, made adjustments and executed well. When their legs went and they got tired, I thought our kids stepped up and played smart. This is a great win on the road against a very good program. We have to build off of this and continue to get better defensively.”
