HOW IT HAPPENED

Delaware scored the opening points of the game with a floater from Lane. The Hens held a lead at three different points over the opening 3:27. Keeping the game within one possession, the Johnnies eventually ripped off an 8-0 run over 1:10 to go up 22-12 heading into the under-12 media stoppage. The home team continued to pull away as it pushed the lead to 33-17 at the 6:58 mark. To that point, the Red Storm capitalized 12 points off eight UD turnovers. SJU stormed into the half with a 48-29 lead. The 49 points surrendered are the most to start a game this year, while the Hens' 29 are the fewest in that same category.
The second half started with the teams trading the first 20 points for 10 apiece up to the first stoppage at 15:35. Delaware cut it to 17 with 11:37 left in the game using an 11-9 margin. Seventeen is the closest the Hens would come on one other occasion down the stretch.
