Delaware St Edges Holy Family in Home Victory

In a closely contested non-conference matchup, the Delaware St Hawks proved too strong for the visiting Holy Family Crusaders, securing a 73-61 win at their home venue, Memorial Hall.

The turning point of the game came midway through the second half, when the Hawks' offense began to click into high gear. The team's 3-point shooting became more efficient, allowing them to pull away from their opponents. Delaware St's ability to capitalize on fast break opportunities also played a significant role in the game, as they scored 18 points off turnovers.

Holy Family struggled to find its rhythm, particularly outside of the paint where the Hawks' defense was solid. The Crusaders' shooting percentages were lower than expected, with only 40% from the field and 36% on three-point attempts. Despite these struggles, Holy Family's offense still managed to put up points, albeit at a slower pace.

The game was not without its bright spots for the visiting team. Holy Family's 8 steals demonstrated the team's ability to disrupt Delaware St's offense, but ultimately couldn't make up for their own shooting woes.

Delaware St's dominance on the glass also contributed to their victory, as they outrebounded Holy Family 21-13 in defensive rebounding and 6-9 in offensive rebounds. The Hawks' balanced attack allowed them to maintain a comfortable lead throughout the second half, with their defense stifling Holy Family's offense in the final minutes.

In the end, Delaware St's home court advantage proved decisive, as they took down their visitors by a margin of 12 points.
