NEWARK, Del. -- Elena Delle Donne had dreamed of playing basketball in the Olympics since she was little.Shell get her chance next week as a member of the U.S. womens team. Before heading to Rio, Delle Donne got an opportunity to celebrate at home in Delaware with a lot of the fans who have been watching her play since she was in eighth grade.She scored 10 points to help the U.S. beat France 84-62 in an exhibition game at the University of Delaware on Wednesday night.It was by far the most emotional game I played at (Delaware), said Delle Donne, who helped Delaware reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament her senior year. Seeing faces that had watched me here since eighth grade and have been on the entire journey with me and now see me in a USA jersey. Its been my dream my entire life. Its so special to come out and share it with them. This is a really special night. There have been a lot of special nights on this court. This is the biggest night. Its a dream come true for me and the fans as well.A loud, spirited crowd gave her quite the ovation when she was announced before the start of the game. They cheered for her and the rest of the U.S. team the rest of the game.Thats amazing what happened today. Thats really awesome to see the fans come out and support her and us, Diana Taurasi said. Shes obviously done so much for the state. That was really nice for us to get a reception like that for our team. Its rare that we play in America were usually across the pond. That was cool, getting the USA chants from the whole crowd, that felt really good. That hasnt happened a lot in my 14 years with the national team.The game was a rematch of the 2012 London Olympics gold medal game that the Americans won 86-50. This time the U.S. took a half to get going, which wasnt a total surprise as the Americans have had little training since getting together for the first time as a full team Saturday in Los Angeles.They played Monday night against a U.S. select team, winning by four, before flying across country for this three-game exhibition series. Frances core has been together for months qualifying for the Rio Olympics in a last chance tournament in June.The U.S. only led by one at the half, but used a 9-2 spurt to start the third quarter spearheaded by Charles and Moore to create some space. The Americans extended the lead to 63-46 after three quarters.France couldnt get within 15 the rest of the way.Marine Johannes scored 13 points to lead France.Tina Charles scored 17 points and Maya Moore added 13 to lead the Americans.With the U.S. leading 12-9 early on, Delle Donne made a hustle play on the defensive end, sprinted down the court and was rewarded with an open 3-pointer much to the delight of the fans.The U.S. extended the lead to six, but France wouldnt capitulate, taking a brief 31-30 advantage late in the first half. The Americans led 32-31 at the break.The Americans will face Canada on Friday in Bridgeport, Connecticut. France will play Australia in the second game of this exhibition series. All four teams will conclude play at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday.From there the U.S. will head to Houston to meet up with the mens basketball Olympic team before both head to Rio together. The women open Olympic play on Sunday, Aug. 7 against Senegal.

Eric ONeal says most of the arrests at Monday nights game were for public drunkenness, though one person was taken into custody on suspicion of trying to steal a seat from the stadium. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The mens soccer season was canceled after a demeaning scouting report on the womens team. Cross-country is under investigation for a similar strain of locker room talk.But even as scandal surrounds the Harvard athletic department, the Crimson football team remains focused on a singular goal -- the same goal, in fact, the program has had for almost a century and a half: Beat Yale.With a victory over their archrivals in the 133rd edition of The Game on Saturday, the Crimson (7-2, 5-1) would clinch a share of a fourth straight Ivy League championship for the first time in the schools history. (Harvard would win the title outright if Penn and Princeton both lose.) It would also be an unprecedented 10th victory in a row against Yale (2-7, 2-4), and it would put the seniors among their two predecessors as the winningest classes in Harvard football history.Its all coming down to the wire the last week, defensive lineman James Duberg said after practicing under the lights at Harvard Stadium. Theres absolutely a historical component to it. So theres a lot on the line.This year, more than usual.Amid a presidential election hijacked by locker room talk that fixated on womens looks and sexuality, The Harvard Crimson school newspaper reported that mens soccer players had for years been compiling a scouting report of their female counterparts that rated them on their less cerebral qualities. Athletic director Robert Scalise canceled the rest of the season, costing the team a chance at an Ivy League title; soon after, similar postings by members of the mens cross-country team led to an investigation that has not yet been resolved.Harvard coach Tim Murphy took note.Harvard kids arent good kids -- theyre great kids. But they dont walk on water, he said in his office at the Dillon Field House. And its up to us as parents and as educators to make sure they know (whats right). Because later in life, the consequences can be terminal.Asked if the football coaches addressed the scandal, if only to make sure they didnt have similar problems on their own team, Duberg said: It doesnt need to be addressed because they know were not doing anything like that.ddddddddddddI can promise you thats not taking place on the Harvard football team, he said. We pride ourselves on being stand-up gentlemen. Savages on the field and gentlemen off the field.It wasnt that long ago that Yale was in a similar predicament.Last spring, basketball captain Jack Montague was expelled from school after a woman accused him of sexual assault. Montague claimed that the sex was consensual and he has sued the school over his dismissal; he was not charged, and police and prosecutors say there is no investigation.His former teammates publicly supported him, wearing warmup shirts featuring his number and nickname during their nationally televised game against Harvard. After complaints from other students, the team apologized.Football coach Tony Reno said this week he stresses to his players the importance of representing the school -- and themselves -- whether they are on the field or off.Im very proud of how our players have responded to adversity on campus, off campus and within the team, Reno said. If you really do your job as a coach, its to try and create an environment for your players to feel like the team is much bigger than themselves. And thats what weve created at Yale.The message is getting through, linebacker Darius Manora said.There is a way to conduct yourself on campus when no one is looking. And I think the guys, especially part of this program, have done an amazing job as far as making sure you are respectful of members of the community, he said.Every single play, every day we go out, we are Yale football players.---AP Sports Writer Pat Eaton-Robb contributed to this story from New Haven, Connecticut.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
