Women's Basketball Bounces Back With Total Team Effort in Win at Delaware

Story Links

NEWARK, Del. – Five players scored in double-figures for the first time all season as the William & Mary women's basketball team bounced back with a total team effort to win 78-60 over Delaware at the Bob Carpenter Center on Sunday afternoon.
 
W&M (19-7, 10-5 CAA) closed the first half and opened the third quarter with an 11-0 run to build an insurmountable lead. The Tribe closed the opening 20 minutes on 5-0 run to take its largest lead of the first half into the locker room. Freshman Bre Bellamy knocked down a jumper from the free-throw line before classmate Chaniqwa Gilliam buried a left-corner 3-pointer to make it 36-28 at the break.
 
The second half picked up the same way as senior Victoria Reynolds opened the scoring and moved the Tribe's lead to double-figures for the first time. The run continued as junior Bailey Eichner hit a pair from the line and classmate Gabby Rogers added a jumper to make it 42-28. W&M went on to outscore the Blue Hens 18-14 the remainder of the frame and took a 60-42 lead in the fourth quarter.
 
W&M used a 7-0 run late in the first quarter to take its first lead of the game. Rogers tied the score with a jumper and the sophomore Eva Hodgson and redshirt sophomore Sydney Wagner connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 16-11 with 2:51 left in the opening frame.
 
Delaware (10-15, 6-8 CAA) raced out of the gates with the first five points to build its largest lead of the afternoon. Abby Gonzales opened the scoring with a lay-up, Jasmine Dickey added a free throw, and Samone DeFreese scored on a second-chance bucket to make it 5-0 with 8:11 left in the first quarter.
 
W&M Starters – #10 Hodgson, #11 Pollard, #20 Bellamy, #25 Rogers, #30 Reynolds
 
Delaware Starters – #2 Gonzales, #10 Johnson, #20 Dickey, #30 Shaw, #33 Enabosi
