SERIES: DSU leads the all-time series 3-2 but NCCU has won the last two games, including a 66-59 triumph in Durham on Jan. 26, 2015.
 
NCCU (3-13, 2-4) had a two-game home win streak snapped by MEAC frontrunner Hampton, 76-42, last Monday. The Lady Eagles are still searching for their first road win of the season (0-10) but have won two straight against DSU, including a 66-59 home victory last season. Junior Morgan Jones, who leads NCCU with 11.5 points, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game, tallied 14 points, three assists and three steals in that win over the Lady Hornets. Jones and senior Kristin Askew provide the Maroon and Gray with a strong shooting backcourt. Jones is sixth in the league with 1.7 made 3-pointers per game and Askew is swishing 1.5 treys per game and tops the league shooting 43.4-percent from behind the arc.  NCCU is only one of three teams in the MEAC with a positive rebounding margin on the season with senior Tisha Dixon (10.1 points/game) pulling down a team-high 7.2 boards per contest.
 
DSU (5-13, 2-3) is coming off a 20-point home loss to North Carolina A&T on Monday (84-64), but sits a half-game ahead of NCCU in the MEAC standings. The Lady Hornets have three players that are scoring on average in double figures in sophomore guard Mikah Aldridge (12.4), senior forward Amber Bogard (12.1) and freshman forward NaJai Pollard (10.2). Pollard, who leads Delaware State with 7.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, has earned MEAC Rookie of the Week six out of 11 weeks so far this season.
