LAST TIME OUT 🏀
Delaware opened the night with a 13-0 deficit and was never able to fully recover in a 75-55 loss at James Madison Friday evening. The Blue Hens (10-9, 5-3 CAA) shot 2-of-14 from the floor and were outrebounded, 16-8, in the first quarter before going into the half with a season-worst 22-point disadvantage as the Dukes led, 45-23, at the break. Delaware received a spark to start the second half as the Hens outscored JMU (13-5, 6-1 CAA), 22-11, in the third period and came within 10 at 62-52 with less than five minutes remaining in regulation. The Dukes then outscored UD, 13-3, in the final minutes to seal the victory. Sadé Chatman registered a career-best 15 points, including 11 in the third quarter, with four rebounds in the loss. Courtni Green added eight points and four rebounds while Makeda Nicholas collected six points, five rebounds and three blocked shots. Jazmon Gwathmey posted a game-high 23 points for the Dukes while Da'Lishia Griffen and Angela Mickens both recorded double doubles of 12 points and 10 rebounds.
