SCOUTING THE BLUE HENS (4-9, 0-2 CAA)
Delaware closed out its non-conference schedule with a 4-7 mark and also dropped its first two CAA contests to UNCW and Charleston. After sitting out last season and the first handful of games this season due to injury, graduate student forward and 2017-18 CAA Player of the year, Nicole Enabosi bounced back and is leading Delaware on the offensive end with 16.8 points per game (54 percent FG) and a team-high 7.6 rebounds. Joining Enabosi in double figures is redshirt junior Kayla Shaw, who is averaging 14.7 points per game in just three games played. Rounding out the top-three scorers is sophomore Jasmine Dickey who contributes 10.7 points per game to go along with 7.2 boards.

SCOUTING THE PRIDE (3-9, 0-1 CAA)
Hofstra is coming off a CAA-opening setback to Northeastern last Sunday.
