NEWARK, Delaware -- Meeting for the first time in 10 years, Delaware and Delaware State followed a familiar pattern, despite the long layover, in their women’s basketball encounter Sunday.Delaware was dominant, putting together a 17-point first-quarter run that removed any mystery en route to an 84-49 victory in front of 1,311 at the Carpenter Center.
“That’s a good in-state win,” said first-year Delaware coach Natasha Adair.
Delaware has won all 10 meetings between the state’s lone Division I programs, and Sunday was the 25th anniversary of their first get-together on Dec. 10, 1992, in Dover.
Sophomore Samone DeFreese scored a game-high 19 points for Delaware. Nicole Enabosi’s 17 points and 11 rebounds comprised the junior’s eighth double-double this year and 29th of her career.
The Blue Hens (6-4) have won four of their last five and feel like they’ve found a groove.
