Martin Ingelsby said. “When we get down we need to trust who we are on the offensive end of the court. When we buy in we're OK, but when we don't it's hard to score. It was a great night for Devonne Pinkard; he played hard and hit some big shots for us.”

William & Mary jumped out to a 9-0 lead five minutes into the game as Delaware missed its first five shots from the floor, and after a three-pointer by Ryan Daly pulled Blue Hens within 14-9, the Tribe scored the next 10 points to take a 24-9 advantage at the 5:53 mark of the opening half.

Chivarsky Corbett ended the spurt with a three-pointer and Pinkard finished a fastbreak layup to make it 24-14, but the Blue Hens could not get the deficit to single digits the rest of the period as William & Mary eventually took a 13-point lead into the break.

Delaware returns home on Saturday to host James Madison at 7 p.m. at the Carpenter Center.
