College basketball

UD’s Daly earns weekly honor: University of Delaware freshman guard Ryan Daly earned his third Colonial Athletic Association Men’s Basketball Rookie of the Week award and his second in as many weeks, the conference announced on Monday.

Daly averaged 18.7 points and 4.7 rebounds during the Blue Hens’ three games last week, shooting 22 of 40 (55.0%) from the field and handing out eight assists.

Daly scored a game-high 20 points on 8 of 12 shooting and grabbed a team-best six rebounds in last Monday’s loss to Charleston, and added eight points and a season-high four assists Thursday at Northeastern. Daly then scored a career-high 28 points vs. UNCW on Saturday, and again led the team with six rebounds. He went 10 of 16 from the field and knocked four three-pointers against the Seahawks, while his 28-point effort was the fourth most by a UD freshman in school history.

Daly has reached double figures in eight of the last nine games, scoring at least 20 points four times in that span. He leads the Blue Hens with 13.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, and ranks second on the squad with 27 three-pointers. He currently ranks seventh in the CAA in rebounding, and is the 12th leading scorer in the conference.

UD women announce schedule: The University of Delaware women’s golf team heads south for five tournaments this spring as Blue Hen head coach Patty Post announced the squad’s 2017 spring slate on Tuesday.

Delaware opens its campaign once again at the Edwin Watts/Kiawah Island Classic at Kiawah Island (S.C.) Resort on Feb. 26-28, before competing in the North Florida Collegiate on Mar. 6-7 at the Jacksonville (Fla.) Golf and Country Club.

The Blue Hens will participate in the William & Mary Intercollegiate at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va. on Mar. 27-28, and will head back to Florida for the Web.com Intercollegiate at Marsh Landing Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. on Apr. 3-4.

The regular season concludes at the Colonial Athletic Association Championship at St. James Plantation in Southport, N.C. on Apr. 14-16. The Blue Hens will be looking to defend their league title after claiming their first CAA championship last spring.

Delaware is looking to build on its fall campaign that saw the Blue Hens post three top-five finishes and capture the team title at the season-opening Rutgers Invitational. Freshman Ariane Klotz recorded three top-10 finishes and led UD with a 75.27 average round, while senior Vitoria Teixeira added a pair of top-10 finishes and ranked second on the team with a 76.70 stroke average. Valentina Mueller (76.87 average round), Grace Chua (78.27) and Ashley Dingman (78.33) also competed in all five tournaments during the fall for the Blue Hens.
