The Blue Hens, who entered the tournament as the fourth seed, were unable to overcome the sixth-seeded Flames in the championship showdown. Delaware concluded their campaign with an outstanding 21-5 overall record, while Liberty improved to 16-9 with the victory.
The 21 victories achieved by the Fightin’ Blue Hens this season matches the program’s historic high for wins in a single year, marking a significant milestone despite the championship game setback.
Liberty’s triumph in the conference tournament final sends the Flames forward in postseason play, while Delaware’s exceptional season comes to a close with the program having reached new heights in terms of overall success.
