NEWARK, Del. – Lay Fantroy notched her first double-double as a Fightin' Blue Hen as the University of Delaware women's basketball team's comeback attempt against Navy fell short, 68-61, Friday evening inside the Bob Carpenter Center. The Hens drop to 1-1, while the Mids jump to 1-0.

HEN HIGHLIGHTS

Delaware held Navy to 25-percent from beyond the arc.
Fantroy tallied 15 points and 10 rebounds for her sixth-career double-double. Eleven of her points came from the charity stripe, a career-best that tied the most free throws made by a single player under Sarah Jenkins.

Safi Kolliegbo rounded out the double-digit scorers with 12 points, going 6-for-9 from the floor.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Kolliegbo got the scoring started right away for Delaware, driving to the hoop for the game's first two points just 15 seconds in.

Navy went on a 8-0 run over 3:21 to take a 12-8 lead with 1:53 left in the first, holding the Blue & Gold to 4:34 of scoreless basketball before Vance ended the drought from the charity stripe bringing it back to a one-score game. The Mids took a 14-12 advantage into the second quarter.
At the second quarter media timeout, Navy led 26-20 with 4:40 left in the opening half. UD endured a scoreless stretch of 3:09 before Fantroy knocked down a pair of free throws to bring it back to within double digits. The road team took a 37-23 lead into the halftime locker room.
Delaware held Navy without a field goal for 3:44, but still trailed by double digits at the third quarter media timeout. The Hens went on a 9-0 run over 2:55 to end the third quarter, including a personal 7-0 stretch for Correa, making it a 52-40 Navy lead heading into the fourth quarter.
After trailing by 21 points in the third quarter, Delaware kept fighting to claw its way back with Navy leading 54-45 at the fourth quarter media timeout with 5:49 to go.
