Ole Miss Rebels Women’s Basketball Routs Delaware State 80-42

Ole Miss Rebels women’s basketball had its first true road game of the season on Thursday night and passed the test with flying colors.

The No. 19 Rebels (2-1) routed Delaware State on Thursday to the tune of an 80-42 final score in Dover. Ole Miss led at the end of every quarter and had four players score more than 10 points in the win.

Starr Jacobs led the way for the Rebels with 18 points, and she was joined in double digits by Madison Scott, Kennedy Todd-Williams and Sira Thienou who all added 13 points apiece. As a team, Ole Miss outshot Delaware State 48.5 percent to 37 percent from the floor, and the Rebels also went 8-of-21 from beyond the arc (38.1 percent).

Ole Miss has now played in three different locations for its first three games of the season: Paris, Oxford and now Dover. Jacobs was asked after the game if she felt that these different environments will help the Rebels throughout the year as they enter conference play and the postseason.

She’s keeping her goals high as Ole Miss’ ultimate prize is the national championship.

“Most definitely,” Jacobs said. “The schedule definitely helps us, and we’re trying to play in Tampa at the end of the day. I feel like every team we play is making us get better.”

The Rebels have some new faces on this year’s team, but squads led by coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin are usually known for defense, but could an offensive night like Thursday lead to more high-scoring performances down the road?

“It’s coming together,” Jacobs said. “We still have a lot of new pieces around, but it’s coming slowly but surely.”

Ole Miss will now return home to face Jackson State on Monday at the SJB Pavilion in Oxford. Tip-off is set for 11 a.m. CT, and the game will be televised on SEC Network+.

Chester Water Authority lifts boil water advisory in Upper Chichester area

Chester Water Authority on Monday lifted the boil water advisory for Bethel, Lower Chichester, Upper Chichester, Marcus Hook and Twin Hooks.

“We want to extend our sincere gratitude to our ratepayers and employees for their patience, resilience, and support during the recent emergency,” said Darryl Jenkins, executive manager of Chester Water Authority, in a release.

On Thursday, a water main break at a PennDOT construction zone along Route 322 near Cherry Tree Road in Upper Chichester Township caused massive disruptions to the system. Affected customers experienced low to no water pressure.

CWA issued a boil water advisory for parts of southern Delaware County. Customers outside the range did not need to take action, but even in nearby areas, some residents experienced low water pressure. The authority set up water-filling stations at the Upper Chichester Township Building, Marcus Hook Borough Office and Ogden Fire Company.

Delaware River Bridge receives 0 million for replacement

From Philly and the Pa. suburbs to South Jersey and Delaware, what would you like WHYY News to cover? Let us know!

The Delaware River Bridge will be replaced following a $600 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, revitalizing a main connector between Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Burlington County, New Jersey.

According to a joint release from U.S. Pennsylvania Senators John Fetterman, D, and Dave McCormick, R, the funds will “advance” the PA Turnpike/I-95 Interchange Program. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission said the program is designed to reduce congestion on County roadways and improve traffic flow in the Philadelphia region.

Fetterman and McCormick called the $600 million going towards the project “one of the most consequential infrastructure commitments in Pennsylvania’s history.”

“The Delaware River Bridge is not just a Pennsylvania asset; it is a backbone of our national freight and passenger transportation network,” the statement read. “This funding will make it safer and more resilient for the commuters, families, and businesses that depend on it every single day.”
