Despite a new career by Justine Seely for the second straight game, the Misericordia University women's basketball team fell to hot-shooting Delaware Valley, 95-81, Wednesday night in the Anderson Center.

Eireann Anastasi had a game-high 40 points to lead the Aggies.

Waleski buried a three-pointer from the right corner to get the Cougars within 52-51 with 7:24 to play in the third quarter, but the Aggies scored five straight points to go up 57-51.

Seely hit a foul-line jumper, but Anastasi answered with back-to-back three-pointers for a 63-53 lead midway through the period.

Waleski drained another three-pointer from the left wing, but Anastasi closed the period with a layup to give the Aggies a 72-61 lead with 10 minutes remaining.

Seely opened the fourth quarter with a pair of free throws, but the Aggies regained a double-digit lead and maintained it the rest of the way.

The Cougars closed the first half on a 6-0 run to pull within 46-41 at intermission.  Hajec fed Seely underneath for a layup and Seely returned the favor on the next possession.  Seely ended the first half scoring with a pair of free throws with :01 remaining.

Misericordia will host FDU-Florham, Saturday at 1:00.
