LAST TIME OUT 🏀
Hannah Jardine nearly doubled her season total while draining a career-high five 3-pointers en route to 23 points to lead the Blue Hens to a 62-50 win over North Dakota State in their final game of the San Diego State Thanksgiving Classic at Viejas Arena Sunday. Jardine came into the game with a total of 24 points and six treys through four games played to shoot 9-of-11 from the field, including a mark of 5-of-7 from behind the arc, for her 23 points. The forward added seven rebounds, one assist, one blocked shot and one steal in 35 minutes of play. Erika Brown added 15 points and six assists while Hannah Friend posted a season-best game with 10 points, two rebounds and a blocked shot. Friend was perfect from the floor, registering totals of 2-2 from the field (all 3-pointers) and 4-of-4 from the charity stripe. Jardine opened the game with eight of Delaware's 14 points and guided the Blue Hens (3-2) to a game-high 16-point lead in the second quarter before holding 37-23 halftime advantage.
