Tina Martin drew up a play to get the ball to sharp-shooting junior Courtni Green behind the arc. The play began as planned as Green collected the pass, but she was unable to knock down the trey to tie the game. Fordham came down with the defensive rebound and Delaware was forced to foul and send the Rams to the free throw line. Taryn Durant collected both free throws with five ticks left to go up, 49-44. Erika Brown led the Hens (1-3) with 14 points while Green finished with 12 points and a team-best eight rebounds. Hannah Jardine added 10 points and seven rebounds in 39 minutes of action.
