CHARLESTON, S.C. – Tied going into the fourth quarter, Delaware held the College of Charleston to just one field goal and five points en route to a 63-47 victory over the Cougars at TD Arena Friday evening.
Senior Courtni Green (Winchester, Va./Millbrook) led the Blue Hens (8-7, 3-1 CAA) with 16 points with four 3-pointers to go along with five rebounds. With her four baskets from behind the arc, Green now has 154 career treys, a mark good to tie for third in program history alongside Megan Dellegrotti (1998-02).
Classmate Jodi Salyer (Roanoke, Va./Staunton River) dished out six assists in addition to registering five points, four rebounds and three steals.
Delaware also saw huge games from freshmen Nicole Enabosi (Gaithersburg, Md./Our Lady of Good Counsel) and Hannah Friend (Farmington, Conn./Farmington), each of which came up with eight points. Enabosi recorded a game-best 12 rebounds while Friend collected seven rebounds and three blocks.
The Hens, who had 31 rebounds in the first half, finished the game by outrebounding the Cougars, 52-38.
Bre Bolden notched a double double of 16 points and 10 rebounds for Charleston (5-10, 0-4 CAA) while Jackie Luna-Castro picked up 15 points and three blocks.
“We've talked a lot about resiliency and bouncing back. Obviously Charleston is a tough team and they're not going to lie down for us. They have some outstanding players who can shoot the basketball and they're hungry for a win. We did a number on the boards, which was crucial. This was a great win on the road.”
Senior Jodi Salyer
“I'm really proud of these guys as we've stuck together and come together as a team. We knew this was going to be a tough road game and it feels good to come out with the win. The freshmen [Hannah Friend and Nicole Enabosi] came up with some big shots and rebounds and we needed that.”
