Box Score

NEWARK, Del. – Delaware women's basketball put in a complete team performance in a dominant 79-55 win over William & Mary inside the Bob Carpenter Center Saturday afternoon.

With their third straight win, the Blue Hens improved to 6-1 overall and 3-0 in Colonial Athletic Association play, the only team in the conference with a 3-0 mark. The Tribe fell to 4-4 overall and 1-2 in the CAA.

Four Blue Hens scored in double figures, while three grabbed double figure rebounds. This is the first time since a 63-54 win over College of Charleston on March 5, 2020 that three Delaware players had 10+ rebounds in the same game.

Junior guard Jasmine Dickey led the way with 20 points and 10 boards, her 20th career double-double and seventh career 20-point game. Redshirt junior forward Ty Battle contributed 10 points and 12 rebounds, her CAA-leading sixth double-double of the year, in addition to three steals and a block.

Redshirt junior Chyna Latimer was hot from deep, knocking down 3-of-5 3-pointers on her way to 13 points. Freshman guard Tyi Skinner poured in 11 points and dished a game-high three assists.

In just 18 minutes off the bench, sophomore forward Brynn Wade grabbed 12 rebounds. As a team, Delaware out-rebounded William & Mary by a 52-33 margin, including 19 offensive rebounds that led to 21 second-chance points.

Delaware was stellar on the defensive end, limiting the Tribe to 55 points on 35.6% shooting from the floor, both season lows for Division I opponents. Senior forward Lizzie Oleary had a game-high two blocks.

The Blue Hens held a 16-10 lead after one period, fueled by nine first-quarter points from Dickey. Delaware went on a 12-0 run late in the second quarter that included back-to-back threes from Latimer and was capped off by an acrobatic lay-up by Skinner off an alley-oop pass from senior guard Tee Johnson. The bucket forced a Tribe timeout and pushed Delaware's lead to 37-17.

William & Mary put together a 7-0 run midway through the third quarter to cut it to 44-29, but that was as close as the Tribe got, as Delaware led by more than 20 for the entire fourth quarter.

The Blue Hens and Tribe play again tomorrow, Sunday, Jan. 10 at the Bob Carpenter Center. Tip-off is 1 p.m.
