Dickey hit 15 of 26 shots from the floor, including 3-for-6 shooting from three-point range. That matched her career total for threes entering the game.

The Hornets trailed 20-13 midway through the first half, but rallied to take an eight-point lead later in the half. Dominik Fragala capped off a 17-3 DSU run with a three-pointer to give the Hornets a 30-22 lead with 4:59 remaining before intermission.

Delaware State drilled five three-pointers during the spurt, three by Wiley and two for Fragala.

The Hornets closed to within 76-71 after a basket by Wiley with 3:36 left, but got no closer the rest of the way.
