THE GAME
The new year also marks the beginning of 2017-18 MEAC competition for Delaware State.

DSU brings an eight-game losing streak into the contest. The Lady Hornets are coming off a 58-43 loss to Stetson in the consolation game of the Florida Atlantic University Holiday Classic on Dec. 30 in Boca Raton, Fla. DSU led by six points and two occasions in the first quarter and held a 16-12 advantage after the first 10 minutes of the game. The Lady Hornets were held to just six points in the second quarter and had to settle for 22-22 tie at the half.

Delaware State has played the last six game without 2017-18 MEAC Preseason Player-of-the-Year NaJai Pollard due to a knee injury.

Sat, January 06, 2018
Dover, Del. (Jan. 6, 2018) --- Patrell Rogers nailed an off-balanced three-point shot with 0.4 seconds left to give South Carolina State a thrilling 63-60 MEAC win over Delaware State in Memorial Hall this evening. The Bulldogs snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 5-11 overall and 1-1 in the MEAC. The Hornets dropped their 11th straight to fall to 2-15 and 0-2 in conference play.

There were four lead changes and seven ties in the second half. Delaware State evened the score for the final time at 60-60 when freshman Marquis Collins hit two free throws with 15.1 seconds to go in the game.

After a timeout by South Carolina State, the Bulldogs had the ball about 25 feet from its basket with time expiring when Rogers launched the winning shot under pressure from two Delaware State defenders.

The Hornets trailed 30-29 at the break, but opened up a 42-36 lead on a lay-up by Simon Okolue with 15:25 left in the second half.

Neither team could build a lead of more than four points in the final 14 minutes of the game.

James Richardson was high scorer for South Carolina State with 12 points, while Ozante Fields came off the bench to add 10.

Okolue was the only Delaware State player in double figures with 16 points. He also pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds to post his fourth double-double of the season.

Delaware State shot 43.3% from the field, but hit only one-of-17 three-point attempts (5.9%). SC State was 25-for-59 from the field (42.4%), including 7-of-28 three-point shots (25.0%).

The Hornets held a slight edge in rebounding, 37-36.

Dover, Del.

The Hornets were outscored 18-8 down the stretch en route to their 12th straight defeat and third loss in three league games this season. DSU is 2-16 overall this season. The Aggies won their conference opener to improve to 8-8.

The loss overshadowed a stellar performance by DSU senior Artem Tavakalyan, who led all players with a career-best 23 points, also the high for a Hornet this season. Tavakalyan was 8-for-11 from the field, including 5-of-6 from three-point range in the contest. His previous career high was 20 points vs. East Carolina this season.

Delaware State trailed 40-32 at the half, but rallied to tie the game at 49 on a lay-up by Demola Onifade with 13:51 left to play. The Hornets held their only second half lead, 51-49, when Joe Lewis hit two free throws with 12:59 remaining.

The game was tied for the fourth and final time, 56-56, when DSU’s Kavon Waller nailed a three-point shot at the 8:24 mark of the second half.

North Carolina A&T answered with a 6-0 run, and opened up a 62-56 lead on a jumper by Denzel Keyes with 5:54 left to play.

After the Hornets pulled to within 62-59 on Waller’s second three-pointer of the game, the Aggies scored 10 of the next 12 points to stretch their lead. Aaren Edmead capped off the NCA&T run with a basket and free throw to give his team a 72-61 lead with 1:45 remaining.

The first half of play was highlighted by a series of runs for each team.

North Carolina A&T scored the first eight points of the game. Delaware State answered with a 13-point run to open up a 13-8 lead. The Aggies responded by scoring the next 11 points to build a six-point first half lead.

NCA&T led by as much as 10 points in the first half before settling for the eight-point advantage at the break.

Five players scored in double-figures for the Aggies. Keyes came off the bench to lead the way with 17 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field.

Devonte Boykins added 16 points (5-9 FGs; 4-7 3pt. FGs), while Edmead tallied 13 points and a game-high seven assists for the visitors.

Tavakalyan was the only Delaware State player to score in double-figures.

Waller and Lewis added eight points each, while Pinky Wiley had seven points and a team-high six assists.

Delaware State was outrebounded 28-25 and also plagued by 19 turnovers.

One game after hitting just one-of-17 three-point shots (Jan. 6 vs. South Carolina State), the Hornets were 10-for-18 from beyond the arc Monday evening.

The 10 threes and .556 three-point percentage in the game were also season highs for the Hornets.

Delaware State begins a two-game MEAC road swing at Hampton on Fri. (Jan. 12). The Hornets will also visit Florida A&M on Jan. 15 before returning home to face Bethune-Cookman on Jan. 20.

She was 12-for-19 from the field, including 7-of-10 on three-point shots in the game. NaJai Pollard contributed to the win over Savannah State by scoring 25 points and grabbing 12 rebounds to record her fifth double-double of the season.

Norfolk, Va. (Feb. 12, 2018) --- Delaware State hit six of its first seven shots and led by 11 points in the early going, but it was all downhill from there in a 93-58 MEAC men’s basketball loss to Norfolk State in a nationally-televised game (ESPNU) at Echols Hall this evening.

The Spartans won for the fifth time in the last six games to improve to 9-17 overall and 7-4 in the MEAC. The Hornets dropped their 20th straight game to fall to 2-24 and 0-11. DSU has played its last three games without starting center Simon Okolue, the team leader in scoring (11.2 ppg), rebounding (7.2 pg) and field goal percentage (.592) entering the contest.

Kyle Williams led five Norfolk State players in double-figures with 20 points, highlighted by five three-point field goals. Derrik Jamerson added 19 points for the Spartans on 7-of-10 shooting from the field, including 5-for-8 on three-point attempts.

Artem Tavakalyan was high scorer for Delaware State with 17 points. He was 7-for-10 from the field and 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, and also led all players with eight rebounds.

Pinky Wiley was the only other Hornet in double figures with 12 points, all on three-point shots (4-for-6).

The Hornets got out of the gate quickly, opening up a 16-5 lead after a three-point shot by Wiley capped off a 13-0 run less than seven minutes into the contest. DSU missed just one of its first seven shots. In addition to Wiley, Joe Lewis had two three-pointers and Tavakalyan one during the spurt.

Norfolk State wasted little time battling back. The Spartans answered with a 15-0 rally of their own, and pulled ahead 20-16 on a lay-up by Jamerson with 9:20 left in the first half.

Delaware State was outscored 28-9 during the remainder of the half, and trailed 48-25 at intermission. After the hot start, the Hornets hit just 4 of their last 19 shots in the opening stanza.

Norfolk State led by 38 points on two occasions in the second half

The Hornets begin a two-game homestand on Saturday (Feb. 17) against Florida A&M. The Alumni/Breast Cancer Awareness Day contest is scheduled for 4 p.m., following the DSU/FAMU women’s game in Memorial Hall.
