Enabosi Moves into Second Place on Scoring List; Hens Top UNCW, 61-57
3/7/2020 5:33:00 PM | Women's Basketball
NEWARK, Del. – The Blue Hens were not going to let their senior class walk off the Bob Carpenter Center floor for the last time without a win. And they did not disappoint Saturday afternoon with their 61-57 victory over UNCW.
With the win, Delaware clinched a first-round bye in next week's Colonial Athletic Association Tournament as the No. 6 seed. The Blue Hens will face third-seeded William & Mary at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday in the CAA Tournament Quarterfinals at Elon University's Schar Center.
The Hens started off slow, but a 39-point second half and 22-point fourth quarter gave Delaware the momentum in the waning minutes. The Seahawks pulled things within one with 26 seconds remaining in regulation, but the Blue Hens hit three free throws, including two from Paris McBride in the final seven seconds, to seal the win.
Nicole Enabosi led Delaware with 21 points and in the process moved into second place in the Blue Hens record books with 1,676 career points behind only All-American Elena Delle Donne.
Enabosi also contributed a game-high 15 rebounds for her 52nd career double double.
Samone DeFreese added 14 points and six rebounds of her own while Jasmine Dickey collected 10 points. McBride finished the day with six points and six assists with zero turnovers.
