DOVER — A visit to the University of Delaware in the opening round of the Preseason National Invitation Tournament and a home contest against national power Michigan State highlights the 2007-08 Delaware State University women’s basketball schedule released Tuesday.
DSU, the defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champ, opens its title defense in the opening round against Delaware on Nov. 9. It will be the first intra-state game between the two since 2001 and the ninth meeting overall.
The Delaware State/Delaware winner will take on Maryland or Princeton in the NIT’s second round.
DSU’s regular-season schedule features 12 home games, including an appearance by Big 10 powerhouse Michigan State on Nov. 26. The Spartans, led by 6-9 sophomore center Allyssa DeHaan, were 24-9 and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.

The Hornets’ home opener is Nov. 20 against St. Peter’s. The Hornets, who went 20-13 in 2006 and will return all five starters, will also welcome first-time opponent Army to Memorial Hall on Dec. 1.
Later in December, DSU will head to the University of Alabama-Birmingham tournament and the University of Virginia tournament.
