Delle Donne has 42 as Delaware women top Hofstra HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) - Elena Delle Donne had a season-high 42 points, including the 2,000th of her career, 14 rebounds and six blocks to help No. 10 Delaware beat Hofstra 89-79 on Thursday night. Delaware (23-1, 14-0 Colonial Athletic Association) used a 15-2 run spanning halftime to take control of the game. Delle Donne, who leads the nation in scoring at 28 points a game, had nine points during the burst - including a tough bank shot that capped the spree and made it 50-41. She hit a pretty 3-pointer from the top of the key a few minutes later to cross the 2,000-point milestone and give the Blue Hens a 59-48 lead. The 6-foot-5 junior scored 14 straight points to help keep Hofstra (17-8, 9-5) from getting any closer than six the rest of the way. Candice Bellocchio and Katelyn Loper scored 21 points each to lead the Pride. Loper returned after missing the last two games because of a concussion.
