UCF Thanksgiving Classic Opener



DATE: November 30, 2013

mh:



ORLANDO, Fla. ? The University of Delaware women's basketball team exploded
for 51 second-half points Saturday afternoon as the Blue Hens defeated Southern
Illinois University Edwardsville, 71-42, in the opener of the University of
Central Florida Thanksgiving Classic at CFE Arena.



UD (5-1) held SIUE (1-5) to just 8.3 percent (2-for-24) shooting from the
field in the first half, but allowed nine free throws en route to a 20-15 lead
at halftime.



Delaware came out of the locker room a changed team as the Hens took a
19-point advantage at 37-18 within the first five minutes of the second
half.



Senior Kelsey Buchanan (South Riding, Va.) led all scorers with 17 points
in just 16 minutes of play due to foul trouble. She added five rebounds, two
assists and two steals in the victory.



Classmate Akeema Richards (Baltimore, Md.) paced the Hens with a
career-best 16 points and four assists while redshirt sophomore Joy Caracciolo
(Manassas, Va.) tallied 13 points, six rebounds, three blocked shots and two
assists.



Allyssa Decker led the Cougars with 11 points while Tierny Austin added
nine points and 11 rebounds in the loss.



POST-GAME QUOTES

Head Coach Tina Martin ? "Overall, we did a better job in the second half
and we got more people involved. We really struggled in all aspects in the
first half and it was frustrating. We didn't run the plays we were supposed to
and we were totally out of sync. When Kelsey and Joy got in foul trouble, we're
taken out of our rhythm as both are very good scorers on the low block."



Senior Akeema Richards ? "We came out really flat in the first half. We
picked up our defense in the second half and our offense followed. [On
adjusting to different positions]: It's been a huge challenge this year to
adjust. Whatever coach asks me to do, I will adjust to do it to the best of my
ability. I'm a little bit more comfortable in my position in the win versus the
point guard. My personality and character is not calm like the point guard
needs to be."



HEN SCRATCHINGS

· Kelsey Buchanan has scored double figures in all six games this
season.

· The Hens have had at least three players score in double figures in all
five wins this year.

· Delaware has won four straight games and is 3-0 away from the Bob
Carpenter Center this season.

· The last time UD held an opponent to single figure field goals made came
on Jan. 10, 2013 when George Mason made just eight field goals. Prior to that,
Penn made nine field goals on Nov. 30, 2005.

DATE: December 3, 2013

mh:



NEWARK, Del. ? The University of Delaware women's basketball program has signed four high school standouts from the class of 2014 as announced by head coach Tina Martin today.



Makeda Nicholas, Alexis Sears, Chastity Taylor and Kiersten West will all join the Blue Hens as freshmen for the 2014-15 campaign.



"I'm really excited for this class to join our Blue Hen family," stated Martin, who is currently in her 18th season at Delaware. "In their own way they each bring something special to the table and I believe that all four will continue to help build on our winning tradition at UD."



Nicholas, a 6-1 forward, averages 16.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 6.7 blocks per game for North Babylon High School (N.Y.). The New York native and All-State selection also adds 5.4 steals and 2.6 assists for the Bulldogs.



"Makeda is an outstanding forward who is very versatile and talented," Martin commented. "She can shoot the three, put the ball on the floor and post up. I'm really excited about what she can bring to our program."



A forward/center combo, Sears will join the Blue Hens from Lenape High School in New Jersey. The 6-2 Medford, N.J. native averages 12.7 points and 10.3 rebounds per game in addition to 3.5 blocks. Sears is a strong player that will bring a presence for Delaware in the paint.



"Alexis is a post player who plays with her back to the basket," remarked Martin. "She is strong and rebounds the ball really well. Alexis also has a great personality and a lot of enthusiasm. She will definitely be a fan-favorite from the get-go because of her personality and infectious smile. I think Alexis will do a great job for us inside and definitely help our post game."



Taylor is a 5-9 guard/forward from St. Anthony's High School (N.Y.). A two-time All-Long Island honoree, Taylor helped lead the Friars to a league title and the CHSAA Class AA state tournament in 2013. She currently averages 12 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals per game.



"Chastity is a combo guard who can do a little bit of everything," Martin said. "She handles the ball well and is a very good three-point shooter. Chastity is a good athlete and I believe she is a young lady who will continue to get better because of her ability to create her own shot and get shots for other people."



A native of Coram, N.Y., West averages 16 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, four steals and three blocks for Longwood High School. The 5-9 slashing guard will add strong defense and perimeter shooting to the Hens. West helped lead Longwood to a berth in the Class AA playoffs and will join her AAU teammates at Delaware in Nicholas and Taylor.



"Kiersten is a very athletic two-guard in addition to being a lefty, which I like tremendously because it opens up the floor a little bit more," noted Martin. "She can shoot the three and is a very creative player that can create her own shot. Additionally, she is a very good defensive player."

PRINCETON, N.J. ? The University of Delaware women's basketball team had five players score at least 12 points Sunday afternoon, but it wasn't enough as the Blue Hens suffered heartbreak in an 84-80 overtime loss at Princeton.



Delaware, which had not played a game in two weeks, saw career games from senior Akeema Richards (Baltimore, Md.) and sophomore Jade Clark (Ashburn, Va.), who posted 17 and 12 points, respectively. Freshman Shanice Johnson (Philadelphia, Pa.) tied a career-best 14 points in the loss for the Blue Hens, who snapped a five-game losing streak to move to 6-2 overall on the year.



Down by two at the half and seven within the first four minutes of the second stanza, Delaware went on a 10-1 lead with 11:42 remaining in regulation to take its first lead of the game since the 2-0 mark.



With 1:30 left on the clock, the Blue Hens took the 74-70 lead off of a jumper in the paint from Richards. The Tigers were able to regain the deficit off of a layup from Blake Dietrick and free throws from Alex Wheatley to tie things at 74-74 and send the game into overtime.



Richards gave UD the first points of the extra period off of a jumper at the 3:53 mark to go up, 76-74. Princeton would tie things once again before Richards drained two from the charity stripe to take the 78-76 advantage.



Amanda Berntsen tied things at 78-78 before Dietrick nailed a three from the left side to give the Tigers the lead for good at 81-78 with just over a minute remaining.



Delaware would have two players foul out in the final minute and Princeton made three free throws en route to victory.



The two teams went back and forth throughout the second half, as there were 11 total lead changes and 14 tied scores.



Dietrick led all scorers with 22 points while Kristen Helmstetter tallied 18 points and 11 rebounds for Princeton (6-4).



POST-GAME QUOTES

Head Coach Tina Martin ? "Defensively, we had some letdowns when the shot clock was running down and we didn't have good help side defense. A lot of points were scored today and I keep telling the team, our defense is going to save us or break us. Offensively, it's the first time we've really been in a tight game for these kids and at times, we executed well and at times we didn't. We have to keep working on more end of game stuff and our defensive rotation and in the end, we will become a better basketball team."



HEN SCRATCHINGS

· Delaware snapped a five-game winning streak and suffered its first loss away from the Bob Carpenter Center this season.

· Today's game marked the first time the Blue Hens have played in overtime this season. Additionally, Delaware had not reached the 80-point mark at all this season prior to today's game.

SUBJECT: University of Delaware Women's Basketball Open CAA Play with OT Thriller; Down Hofstra, 71-66, Behind Buchanan's Career Day



DATE: January 5, 2014

mh:



NEWARK, Del. ? The University of Delaware women's basketball squad opened Colonial Athletic Association action with an overtime thriller Sunday afternoon as senior Kelsey Buchanan (South Riding, Va.) reached career-highs in points and rebounds while 18th year head coach Tina Martin notched her 350th career victory as the Blue Hens captured a 71-66 victory over Hofstra at the Bob Carpenter Center.



Buchanan erupted for career-highs of 27 points, 15 rebounds and four blocked shots and scored eight of Delaware's nine points in overtime as the two-time defending CAA champion Hens (9-3, 1-0 CAA) picked up their 43rd straight league victory in regular season and tournament play since the 2011-12 season.



Freshmen guards Courtni Green (Winchester, Va.) and Erika Brown (Haledon, N.J.) each contributed 10 points while redshirt sophomore Joy Caracciolo (Manassas, Va.) came off the bench to pull down 13 rebounds for Delaware.



Hofstra held the lead the majority of the game until Buchanan gave UD a 47-45 advantage with 9:13 left in the second half. From that point on, the game saw four lead changes and three tied scores.



With less than four minutes remaining in regulation, Hofstra was up by four points before Delaware went on a 7-0 run, all off of free throws, to take the lead, 62-59 with 16 seconds left on the clock. The Pride's Annie Payton knocked down a three-pointer to tie things with 10 seconds remaining to force overtime.



Buchanan recorded the first score of the overtime period off of a put-back layup at the 3:55 mark and Delaware would never look back en route to victory.



Hofstra (5-7, 0-1 CAA), which lost for the second straight game, put four scorers in double figures and were led by Anma Onyeuku's 14 points.



POST-GAME QUOTES




Head Coach Tina Martin

On the win over Hofstra ? "It was a difficult game. Overall, I thought our team really struggled on the defensive end early and fell behind by double digits. Anytime you fall behind by double digits, you have to scrap, claw and fight. There were a lot of adjustments and there were times where it was challenging. Offensively, we had some good looks. Give Hofstra credit. They are obviously a very tough and scrappy team, but our kids hung in there."

On playing their first CAA game ? "I think all conference games are going to be like this. Everybody knows what you are doing and what offenses you run. The freshmen got a taste of conference play today and it's only going to get more physical. They are going to have to get used to it and adjust. With this young of a group, we are going to be up and down. It was nice for us to fight for this win and get the victory."



Senior tri-captain Kelsey Buchanan

On what led to Delaware's comeback ? "Defense, which is always a key for us. We matched up, so we were able to better defend the people in our area, especially with the guards sitting behind us."

On having to work to get the win ? "We definitely had to work hard to get the win. At times, it was getting away from us and we had to figure out how to bring it back. But, good teams do that and we need to work on being a better team that way."

On taking the game over in the second half and overtime ? "I definitely know that my teammates have my back, but sometimes I know they are going to look for me to score."



Freshman Hannah Jardine ?

On the Blue Hens' comeback ? "We really just focused and had to bring more intensity on defense than we did in the first half. We started knocking down shots and Kelsey and Joy were really big on the boards offensively and defensively."

On Kelsey Buchanan's play against Hofstra ? "She was incredible. It didn't surprise me though because she plays just as well in practice and we know she is capable of doing great things. To see her grab those rebounds, she inspires us to work harder. It was really awesome to see her play well."

On the physical nature of the game ? "That was probably the most physical we have had to play over the last few games. It's not necessarily something you want, but when a game is more physical, it brings up the intensity. I think we handled it well."



Freshman Erika Brown

On the first CAA game of the season ? "I think my team really stuck together today. We didn't get down because we were down by 12. We just kept fighting and kept our heads up. That is a big key for us especially since we are so young."

On the key to the Blue Hens' comeback ? "Everybody was just looking for their shots and not rushing. I thought we were rushing at times. When everyone settled down, we started hitting shots and getting momentum. Once we got the momentum, everyone was feeling good."

September 3, 2017


Lynchburg, Va. -- Nikki Simpao (Stafford, Va.) racked up three goals and an assist, Baylee Mueller (New Albany, Ohio) scored twice and made an assist, and the Lynchburg College field hockey team won its second game in as many days, 7-1, over visiting Wittenberg.

The Hornets were on the offensive from whistle to whistle, out-shooting Wittenberg 27-9 and holding an 18-3 advantage over the Tigers in penalty corners.



THE RUNDOWN

Final: Lynchburg 7, Wittenberg 1

Records: Lynchburg 2-0, Wittenberg 1-1.

Venue: Shellenberger Field, Lynchburg College, Lynchburg, Va.



HOW IT HAPPENED

- Lynchburg scored right off the opening whistle, when Mueller found Simpao in front of the cage, and the All-American midfielder was able to finish for her first goal of the season.

- Wittenberg tied the game in the 15th minute, but Simpao put the Hornets back in front with an unassisted score four minutes later.

- Mueller added her first goal of the game in the 21st minute, assisted by Karissa LeMaire's (Dewey Beach, Del.) penalty corner.

- Lynchburg poured it on after halftime, racking up 19 shots and four more goals in the second half. Simpao, Mueller, Isabella Eldridge (Mount Pleasant, S.C.), and Kayla Copeman (Williamsburg, Va.) scored the Hornets' goals.



LOOKING AHEAD

The Hornets hit the road for the first time next weekend, traveling to Reading, Pa., Saturday to take on No. 18 Alvernia. Lynchburg will not play on Shellenberger Field again until Saturday, Sept. 16, when the Hornets play host to Mary Washington.
