NEWARK, Del. – Delaware women's basketball closed the regular season with an unblemished home record, beating Towson 86-55 Sunday afternoon inside the Bob Carpenter Center, and collecting its seventh sweep of a Colonial Athletic Association series this year.

The Blue Hens improved to 19-3 overall and 16-2 in the CAA, with a perfect 11-0 record at The Bob. The Tigers fell to 12-7 on the year and 7-5 in the conference. Delaware is the only team in the CAA, men or women, to play a full 18-game conference slate this season.

Junior guard Jasmine Dickey put a bow on her resume for CAA Player of the Year with 30 points, 11 rebounds and four steals. This is the seventh double-double and fifth 30-point game of the season for the Baltimore native.

Redshirt junior forward Ty Battle recorded her CAA-leading 16th double-double of the year with 15 points and 10 boards to go with a pair of steals. Battle is now tied for second in Division I for double-doubles with Oklahoma State's Natasha Mack and Texas's Charli Collier.
