NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware women's basketball team dropped a 65-48 decision to La Salle on Wednesday morning in an Education Day matchup at the Bob Carpenter Center. With the setback, the Fightin' Blue Hens fall to 5-4 on the season, while the Explorers move to 8-3 overall.

HEN HIGHLIGHTS

Ande'a Cherisier led the Blue Hens with team highs of 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Lay Fantroy finished with 10 points to go along with three steals and a block on the defensive end in her return to the starting lineup.
Safi Kolliegbo rounded out those in double figures with 10 points off the bench.

HOW IT HAPPENED

La Salle used a couple of big runs to jump out to a double-digit lead, but four-straight points by Cherisier cut Delaware's deficit to 19-12 after the first quarter.
The Blue Hens used a 7-0 run, sparked by Arantxa Portalez and Kolliegbo, late in the second quarter to bring Delaware within single digits at halftime, 32-23.
UD went on pair of runs in the third quarter, including a 7-0 streak late in the frame fueled by a pair of Trinity Vance baskets, sandwiched around a Fantroy three-point play, but two late baskets extended the Explorers' lead to 49-38 after three quarters.
Delaware was unable to mount a comeback in the final frame as La Salle pulled away for the 65-48 final score.

GAME NOTES

Cherisier posted her fifth career double-double, and third in the past four games.
Fantroy has now reached double figures scoring in seven of her eight games played this season.
Vance made her first-career start.
