THE CAPSULE Robert Morris will look to snap a three-game skid on its final day of a season-long six-game road trip as it takes on Delaware. The Colonials began their stint away from Moon Township with a pair of victories over Lafayette and Kent State, but have since fallen to Vanderbilt, Stetson, and Florida International.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY When it came to shooting from beyond the arc last season against Delaware, it was like throwing a tennis ball into the ocean for Megan Smith and Rebeca Navarro. Smith canned all four of her three-point attempts en route to a game-high 16 points, while Navarro went three-of-three from distance. The trifecta twosome also provided help on the glass, as they collected five and six rebounds, respectively.

2016-17 SCHEDULE & RESULTS 11.11 POINT PARK

THE SERIES VS. DELAWARE The Colonials and Blue Hens met for the first time 11 months ago at the Sewall Center, with the hosts earning a narrow 53-50 victory. RMU outscored Delaware, 32-19, in the middle quarters and made nine of 19 attempts from beyond the arc to come away with the win. SCOUTING THE BLUE HENS Delaware owns a 4-2 record in the early parts of 2016-17, but is coming off a pair of losses to No. 24/19 Michigan State and Detroit Mercy at the Cal State Northridge Thanksgiving Tournament over the weekend. It has been a balanced scoring effort for the Blue Hens this season as three players (Erika Brown, Sade Chatman, Nicole Enabosi) are averaging double-figures. Enabosi paces the team at 11.7 points per game, while also owning the top spot for steals (13) and blocks (7). Chatman is right behind her in points (11.2) and is Delaware’s top rebounder at 7.5 per contest.
