THE GAME

Delaware State (1-16; 0-4 MEAC) takes on South Carolina State in a battle of teams seeking their first MEAC win of the season. The Lady Hornets bring a 13-game losing streak into the contest. DSU is coming off an 82-74 loss to Norfolk State on Monday. The Lady Hornets got off to a fast start, opening up a seven-point lead midway through the first quarter. Mikah Aldridge keyed DSU’s early run by hitting her first three three-point shots. Norfolk State rallied to lead 22-19 after the first quarter and outscored DSU 25-14 in the second to open up a 47-33 lead at the break. The Spartans led by as many as 24 points in the third quarter before the Lady Hornets pulled to within six late in the game. The loss overshadowed strong performances by DSU’s NaJai Pollard and Aldridge. Pollard scored 21 points and led all players with a career-high 18 rebounds. She also had four blocks in the contest. Aldridge had 21 points, highlighted by a career-best five three-pointers. For the season, Pollard is tops in the MEAC in scoring (18.4 ppg) and rebounding (9.8 pg), and is second in field goal percentage (.540). Aldridge is second on the Lady Hornets and seventh in the MEAC in scoring at 13.5 points per game. She’s also fifth in the league in free throw shooting (.775). So. Carolina State (3-11; 0-3 MEAC) is riding a nine-game skid. The Bulldogs are coming off a 60-49 loss to Savannah State on Monday. SCSU led 13-7 after the first quarter, but was outscored 19-4 in the second to trail 26-17 at the break. Savannah State won the third quarter 21-6 to put the game away.

DELAWARE STATE 2016-17 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NOTES

HORNETS 11th IN MEAC PRESEASON POLL

Delaware State has been picked to finish 11th in the 2016-17 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference women’s basket-ball regular season race, according to a poll of league head coaches and sports information representatives. Defending MEAC tournament champion North Carolina A&T is the voters’ choice to repeat as regular season champs during the 2016-17 year. The Aggies received 13 of 26 first place votes and 317 total points, just ahead of Bethune-Cookman, which collected five first place votes and 305 points. The Lady Hornets garnered 124 points, ahead of only Norfolk State (92) and North Carolina Central (46) in the poll. The MEAC has also released its 2016-17 preseason individual honors. Delaware State sophomore forward NaJai Pollard was named to the preseason All-MEAC First Team, joining preseason Player-of-the-Year Malia Tate-DeFreitas (sr.) of Hampton, Bethune-Cookman’s Kendra Cooper (sr.), Moengaroa Subritzky (r-jr.) of UMES and Bethune-Cookman’s Kailyn Williams (sr.). Pollard took the league by storm last season, capturing the MEAC’s weekly top rookie award eight times, in addition to earning the league’s Defensive Player-of-the-Week honor once. The Richmond, Va., native was fifth in the MEAC in rebounding (8.3 pg) and 13

th in scoring (11.6 ppg) during

the 2015-16 season. She posted a team-high eight “double-doubles” as a freshman, including a 22-point, 14-rebound performance vs. Florida A&M in the MEAC Tournament. Pollard was second on the Lady Hornets in scoring, while leading the team in rebounding, field goals and blocks last season. She grabbed 10-or-more rebounds in 11 games, including a career-high 15 twice.

NaJai Pollard

During Burgess’ tenure as an assistant coach, the Lady Pirates won a ME-AC-record five consecutive tournament championships (2009-14). Hampton posted an overall record of 146-48 (.753), including an 88-8 mark (.917) in MEAC regular season play, in addition to winning 54 consecutive games against league opponents (including tournament games). “We believe that Barbara’s championship experience at Hampton, along with the intensity and passion she developed in her playing days with the Lady Hornets will greatly benefit our women’s basketball program,” Dr. Williams said. Prior to her time at Hampton, Burgess served one season as an assistant coach at Norfolk State University (2008-09). She was also the head wom-en’s coach at Virginia Union University from 1999-2001, posting a 13-39 overall record. As a high school coach, she manned the sidelines for six years (2002-08) as the head women's basketball coach at Phoebus High School (VA). The Phantoms were 73-67 in her tenure, making three trips to the Eastern Re-gion tournament. From 1992-99, Burgess was the head women's basket-ball coach at Huguenot High School (VA). She was named Dominion Dis-trict Coach of the Year in 1997 after leading Huguenot to a 14-9 record. The following year, the Lady Falcons were runners-up in the Dominion District Tournament. Throughout her 14 years at the helm in the high school ranks, Burgess mentored several players who have gone on to play at the collegiate level, including former Howard University stand-out Essence Coggins (Huguenot). Burgess was a four-year Black College All-American for DSU (1985-89) on the court. She was named to the MEAC All-Rookie Team and ended her career with the Lady Hornets as the school’s second all-time leading scorer with 1,807 points, a spot she currently still holds. During her sophomore season, she led the team in scoring (17.9 ppg) and rebounding (7.3 rpg) and was named to the All-MEAC First Team. Her junior campaign fea-tured leading Delaware State in scoring (17.1 ppg) on her way to another All-MEAC First Team selection. Burgess wrapped up career garner-ing DSU Female Athlete of the Year in 1988-89, in addition to leading the Lady Hornets to the 1989 MEAC Tournament Championship game. Burgess graduated from Delaware State in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education and was inducted to the DSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000. She also received her master’s degree in sports manage-ment from California (Pa.) University.

Burgess is a native of Richmond, Va. and is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

HEAD COACH BARBARA BURGESS

Former Lady Hornet star Barbara Bur-gess is in her second season as head coach at her alma mater. This is her second head coaching job. In her return to Delaware State during the 2015-16, Burgess led the Lady Hornets to a four-win improvement from the year before. Among the highlights in her first season as DSU head coach were road wins over Savannah State and Hampton, the two previous Mid-Eastern Athletic Con-ference champions. The Lady Hornets also posted impres-

sive wins against Division I opponents Appalachian State, Wagner and Longwood last season. DSU President Harry L. Williams and Interim Athletics Director Louis “Skip” Perkins announced the appointment of Burgess as the school’s ninth head coach on May 5, 2015. Her appointment marked the second time that a former Lady Hornet player has headed the DSU women’s basketball program. Jackie Devane was head coach from 1995-00 after competing for the team from 1979-83. “Barbara stood out among some outstanding candidates for the position, not just because she’s a Lady Hornet alum, but because of her highly successful experience as a teacher of the game and recruiter, as well as her commitment to academics and community service,” AD Perkins said. “We believe Barbara will bring a high level of excellence back to the Lady Hornet program she helped to make so successful as a student-athlete.” The first season under Burgess featured the Lady Hornets posting their highest overall (9) and conference (6) win totals since 2012-13. Her first victory resulted in a 76-69 win over the Sun Belt Confer-ence's Appalachian State in the final game of the Florida Atlantic Thanks-giving Tournament on Nov. 28. However, Burgess' most impressive victo-ry featured DSU knocking off Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) powerhouse Hampton on the road on Feb. 29, 89-81. This win not only snapped a 15-game slide to the Pirates, but it was Delaware State’s first win at HU since a 53-51 triumph on Feb. 28, 2005. Despite 2015-16 coming to a close with a 79-74 loss to Florida A&M in the MEAC Tournament, freshman sensation NaJai Pollard garnered MEAC Rookie of the Year honors, leading the Lady Hornets in rebounding (8.3 rpg), blocks (51), double-doubles (8) and finishing second in scoring (11.6 ppg). As a team, DSU led the conference in free throw percentage (.726), along with finishing fifth in field goal percentage (.372), fourth in blocked shots per game (4.2) and seventh in steals per game (8.2).

Burgess, who starred for the Lady Hornets from 1985-89, most recently served as an assistant coach at Delaware State’s highly successful MEAC rival Hampton University the past six seasons. While at Hampton, Burgess helped lead the Lady Pirates to five MEAC Tournament titles, five regular season crowns and six national championship tournament appearances.

NO SOPHOMORE JINX FOR POLLARD

Delaware State sophomore NaJai Pollard continues to strengthen her case for “top player” recogni-tion in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference this season. Pollard was selected as the MEAC’s Player-of-the-Week this past Monday (Jan. 16) for the third time this season after recording 44 points, 20 rebounds and four blocks in two games. She was named MEAC Player-of-the-Week AND Defensive Player-of-the-Week on Jan. 2 after combining for 56 points, 22 rebounds and four blocks in recent contests against Longwood and Virginia Tech. The Richmond, Va., native was 23-for-33 from the field (67%) in the two games. In the Longwood contest, Pollard had a game-high 32 points, the second-best scoring output of her career. She was 12-for-16 from the field, and also led all players with 11 rebounds. Pollard tallied a game-high 24 points on 11-of-17 shooting vs. No. 19 Virginia Tech. She also pulled down 11 rebounds to top all players in the contest. She was named MEAC Player-of-the-Week on Nov. 21 and garnered top defensive player honors on Dec. 12. Pollard was also nominated by HERO College Sports for its national “Hero-of-the-Week” on Nov. 23. For the season, Pollard is first in the MEAC in scoring (18.4 ppg) and rebounding (9.8 pg), and a close sec-ond in field goal percentage (.540). Pollard, the 2015-16 MEAC Rookie-of-the-Year and 2016-17 preseason All-MEAC First Team selection, has reached double-figures in scoring and rebounding in nine of the Lady Hornets’ 15 games this season; and has 17 double-doubles in 45 games at DSU.

As a freshman, Pollard was second on the team in

scoring (11.6 ppg) and tops in rebounding (8.3 pg).

She was an eight-time MEAC Rookie-of-the-Week

honoree and earned one Defensive Player-of-the-

Week award during the 2015-16 campaign.
