CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Jasmine Dickey made sure everyone knew her name Friday night as the freshman posted a double double in her collegiate debut. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough as the Blue Hens fell to Northern Iowa, 79-67, in the Preseason WNIT at the McLeod Center.
Dickey finished the night with 21 points, 12 rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes of action. The Baltimore, Md. native went 8-of-21 (.381) from the field to go along with five free throws to lead Delaware (0-1).
In total, the Hens saw four players with double figure scoring efforts as juniors Abby Gonzales and Samone DeFreese added 12 and 11 points, respectively, while freshman Paris McBride contributed 10 of her own.
The Panthers (1-0) took advantage of free throws and registered 26 points from the charity stripe. Karli Rucker led UNI with 25 points and six assists while Megan Maahs recorded 17 points and 10 rebounds.
POST-GAME QUOTES
Head Coach Natasha Adair
"My hat goes off to UNI as they are a tough, veteran team. Obviously this wasn't the outcome that we wanted, but we had some bright spots. We will continue to grow and to have two freshmen in Jasmine Dickey and Paris McBride come in and give some big minutes is positive. I thought we were able to get back in the game with our defensive pressure – which is something we've been working on and really focusing on. We still have to tighten up some things defensively and we put them on the free throw line too many times. On the road every detail matters, but this was our first game. We'll get back out there and get to work on improving. Our kids fought and at no point did I see any quit from anyone."
