NEWARK, Del. – Delaware women's basketball rewrote the record book on the way to an 111-54 season-opening win over Salem University (W.V.) Wednesday afternoon inside Bob Carpenter Center.
In the first Delaware athletics event in 260 days, the Blue Hens broke the program single-game record for both points (111) and rebounds (71), while several individual Blue Hens set career-high marks.
Four Delaware players finished in double figures, led by junior guard Jasmine Dickey with a career-high 31 points. The Preseason All-Colonial Athletic Association First Team honoree also added six rebounds, four assists and three steals. Senior forward Lizzie Oleary set a career high with 14 points on an efficient 5-for-6 from the field, grabbing eight rebounds as well.
Redshirt junior forward Ty Battle recorded a double-double in her first game in a Delaware uniform, racking up 16 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman guard Tyi Skinner poured in 15 points in her Blue Hens debut.
Junior point guard Paris McBride facilitated the offense, dishing a career-high eight assists. Sophomore forward Brynn Wade had her best game as a Blue Hen, recording career highs in points (7) and rebounds (12).
In addition to Battle and Skinner, three other Blue Hens made their Delaware debuts. Redshirt junior forward Chyna Latimer started and had seven points and seven rebounds. Freshmen guards Jadaia Reid and Mar Tejedor had eight and four points off the bench, respectively.
Delaware used its size advantage to dominate the game in the frontcourt. In addition to outrebounding the Tigers 71-31, Delaware outscored Salem in points in the paint (64-22), second-chance points (21-2), and points off turnovers (32-3).
After a tight first quarter, Delaware outscored the Tigers 33-14 in the second quarter behind 21 combined points from Battle and Dickey, pulling away from Salem for good.
Delaware returns to action in a week, traveling to Dover, Del., on Wednesday, Dec. 2 to face in-state rival Delaware State.
