• The Blue Hens snapped a nine-game losing skid on Saturday with a decisive 72-57 home victory over Elon.
• Delaware led by at least six points the entire second half, and shot over 50 percent in both halves.
• Ryan Daly notched his first double-double of the season and the seventh of his career with team-highs of 22 points and 12 rebounds. Daly has reached double figures in 22 consecutive games, currently the second longest streak in the CAA.
• Eric Carter recorded his ninth double-double of the season, third most in the conference, with 11 points and 11 rebounds. He has reached double figures in scoring in six of the last seven contests.
• Ryan Allen contributed 17 points, scoring in double digits for the 13th game in a row. Allen's 75 three-pointers are tied for sixth most in a UD single season, and currently rank sixth among Division I freshmen.
• Allen has made a three-pointer during all 26 games of his career, the second longest streak in Blue Hen history.
• Delaware leads the all-time series with Drexel, 81-76, but the Dragons have won the last two meetings at the Daskalakis Center.
• The rivals have split the season series in each of the last four years. The Blue Hens, who posted a 72-66 victory on Jan. 11 at the Carpenter Center, are looking for their first sweep of the Dragons since the 2012-13 season.
