LAST TIME OUT 🏀
UD led by 14 at halftime, but allowed Fordham to come within one in the third quarter before holding on for the 55-48 win over the Rams at Rose Hill Gym Thursday evening. The Hens outscored Fordham, 18-8, in the second quarter but eventually squandered that lead as the Rams held a 23-12 scoring advantage in the third. Delaware produced five of its nine turnovers in the period while allowing Fordham to more than double its first-half point performance. UD then held the Rams to just two field goals in the fourth to pick up its fourth win of the year. Hannah Jardine led the Blue Hens (4-2) for the second straight game with 15 points in addition to three rebounds, two assists, a blocked shot and steal in 39 minutes of play. Nicole Enabosi bounced back from a scoreless game against North Dakota State with 13 points, seven rebounds and two steals versus Fordham. Jodi Salyer registered just three points, but they were crucial points in the fourth quarter off of free throws to put the game out of reach. The guard added a game-high four assists with three rebounds.
