Roundup: Corbett’s 3-pointer lifts Blue Hen men past Miami, Ohio

Posted

Blue Hen sophomore Chivarsky Corbett buried a tie-breaking three-pointer from the top of the key with 5.2 seconds remaining as the University of Delaware men’s basketball team posted a thrilling 68-66 victory over Miami (Ohio) Friday night at Millett Hall.

Delaware (3-1) led from the 16:13 mark of the first half until the final moments of the game, when the Redhawks’ Rod Mills drained a three-pointer from the right wing to knot the contest at 64-64 with 14 seconds to play.

But Anthony Mosley raced down the court into the paint, before feeding Corbett at the top of the key for the game-winning triple.

The Blue Hens then fouled Miami’s Michael Weathers, who hit two free throws with 3.8 seconds to play. Corbett was then sent to the line, and after hitting the first foul shot, he missed the second but chased down the rebound in the corner. The Redhawks (1-2) eventually came up with the loose ball and Weathers’ heave from the opposite foul line was good, but clearly after the buzzer.

Mosley led Delaware with 17 points to go with four assists and four steals, while Corbett and Darian Bryant each contributed 16 on the night. Cazmon Hayes was the fourth Blue Hen in double figures with 13 points, while Eric Carter grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.

WOMEN, Neumann 65, Wesley 50: After earning a nail-biting win in their season opener the Wolverines  could not come away with a repeat effort, falling to Neumann University.

Brionna Johnson led the team with 12 points while Monshea Newsome-Murray finished with 11 on 5-for-11 shooting. The sophomore point guard led the team with six rebounds and two steals as well.

Delaware will play in the semifinals for the 10th time in league history but for the first time since the 2012 season,

Delaware, which evened its record at 15-15, defeated No. 3 seed Northeastern (20-11) for the second time in three weeks after posting a 3-2 victory at the Bob Carpenter Center on Nov. 4. Northeastern had earlier downed the Hens 3-0 in Boston back on Oct. 10.

The Hens won in straight sets by scores of 28-26, 25-18, and 27-25 for the victory. Senior Autumn Jenkins led the way with a match-high 12 kills while adding eight digs and setter Erin Layne continued her fine late-season play by dishing out 31 assists.

Jenkins, who has now reached double figures in kills 20 times this season and in 10 of the last 12 matches, surpassed the 1,000-dig mark for career during the match.
