NORFOLK, Virginia -- Hampton University concluded the regular season on a historic defensive note as it wrapped up an unbeaten conference record and the No. 1 seed in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament.
So naturally, the Lady Pirates spent the time leading up to their quarterfinal game on defense. The result was an extension of their season-ending run, as they crushed Delaware State 63-28 Wednesday at Scope.
"After the season, and I commend the team and leadership of the team in taking a look at film and seeing that there are some things that we can improve upon," HU coach David Six said. "We went back to basics in practice. As Nikki (Hamilton) said, the (defensive) rotation was a little late. We weren't rotating properly, so we went back to that, kind of like almost at the beginning of the season. I think that helped us today."
Hampton (26-5) won its 17th consecutive game and faces the winner of Thursday's Coppin State-South Carolina State quarterfinal, at noon Friday in a semifinal.
