DOYLESTOWN (PA) – Delaware Valley College sophomore forward Brenna Coll scored 20 of her career-high 27 points in the first half as part of a 56-point explosion in the Aggies' 84-63 triumph over visiting Penn State Brandywine.

Delaware Valley, which is playing five home games over an eight-day span, improved to 2-5 on the year. The run of games began yesterday and continues next on Wednesday when the team hosts Haverford College. Penn State Brandywine saw its record drop to 3-4.

The Aggies trailed early, 7-6, before they scored 10 straight – seven by Coll - and never looked back. The Lions hit a 3-pointer to end the run, but Delaware Valley responded with 20 of the game's next 28 points for a 36-18 advantage with 9:05 remaining. The Aggies then ended the half with another 10-0 run, including eight by freshman guard Bridget Sobon, to take a 56-27 lead into the break.
