BALTIMORE, Md. --- The Delaware State University women's basketball team dropped a 67-55 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) game to the Coppin State Eagles on Monday night.
 
Delaware State jumped out in the early goings of the contest as freshman center Unique Miller scored 10 of her career-high 23 points in the first quarter to help guide the Hornets to a 16-8 lead at the end of the first frame.  
 
Miller, Janasia Law and Alexis Moragne combined for the game's next seven points to open the second quarter and give Delaware State a 23-8 lead with 6:28 left in the half and would take a 29-19 advantage into the break.
 
Coppin State showed that it would not go quietly into the night as they began a comeback in the waning minutes of the second half. Redshirt-sophomore guard Mossi Staples led a 20-6 run that spanned from the end of the second quarter through the beginning of the second half to put the lead back in the Eagles favor at 33-31 with 5:45 left to play in the third quarter.
 
A two-point differential is as close to the lead as the Hornets would see as the Eagles pulled away and eventually sealed the victory on home court.
 
Miller added 14 rebounds to her career-point performance for her second double-double of her freshman campaign. Law finished the night with 16 points, 12 of which came from behind the three-point line. Her four triples were a game best. Moragne ended tonight's game with nine points, five rebounds an assist and a steal.
 
Delaware State will conclude its 2021-22 regular season in Princess Anne, Md. for a MEAC matchup with the University of Maryland Eastern Shore on Thursday. Tipoff from Hytche Arena is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
