NEWARK, Del. — Elena Delle Donne scored 22 points to lead four Delaware players in double figures and the No. 12 Blue Hens defeated Virginia Commonwealth 68-49 on Sunday.

Danielle Parker had 16 points, Akeema Richards 12, and Lauren Carra 11 for the Blue Hens.

Courtney Hurt scored 19 points and Andrea Barbour added 17 for the Rams (13-9, 6-5).

After trailing by as many as 16 points in the first half, VCU cut Delaware's lead to 46-40 on Barbour's basket with 12:30 left. But the Blue Hens answered with a 10-2 run to take back control for good.

The 19-point margin was Delaware's biggest lead of the game.
