Overview
The Blue Hens are on a hot streak entering the tournament and coach Tina Martin has truly turned Delaware into one of the powers in the America East Conference since arriving just five years ago. The Blue Hens play good defense and are tops in the conference in steals, blocks and turnover margin, while allowing opponents to shoot just 37 percent from the field. Delaware is led by all-time leading scorer Cindy Johnson with more than 1,500 career points. Shooter Megan Dellegrotti owns the Blue Hens' career 3-point percentage.

Player to Watch
Christina Rible, a 6-foot-1 junior forward, averages nearly 13 points and 11 rebounds. Despite having offseason knee surgery, Rible obviously hasn't slowed down as she leads the team in minutes played.
