LAST TIME OUT
UD saw three players score at least 12 points each, but the Blue Hens registered 23 turnovers in Sunday's 60-50 loss to Elon in the CAA opener at the Bob Carpenter Center. A sloppy first half of play saw the Hens (13) and Phoenix (12) combine for 25 total turnovers. Elon jumped out to an early lead, but Delaware slowly fought back and tied the game at 18-18 before the Phoenix used three-pointers to post a 34-23 halftime advantage. The Blue Hens (5-7, 0-1 CAA) never came within more than six points of the visitors in the second half as Elon (8-4, 1-0 CAA) notched its first-ever CAA victory. Courtni Green led all scorers with 17 points while Erika Brown contributed 13 points, five assists and four rebounds. Joy Caracciolo added 12 points, six rebounds and three steals for Delaware. Hannah Jardine collected double figure rebounds for the second consecutive game with 10.
