NORFOLK, Va. – The Norfolk State women's basketball team caps the home portion of its 2014-15 schedule on Monday when it hosts Delaware State. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Echols Hall.

The Spartans will honor their four seniors – Ebony Brown, Aivah Parham, Jazamine Gray and Rae Corbo – following the game. 

The Spartans are 10-14 overall and 9-4 in the MEAC after a 67-57 win at Coppin State on Saturday which snapped NSU's 18-game losing streak to the Eagles. The win also clinched NSU's first winning MEAC regular-season record since 2001-02, the year the Spartans won the MEAC Tournament title.

North Carolina A&T (8-4) and Bethune-Cookman (8-5) are close behind NSU. The top three finishers in the regular-season standings earn first-round byes in the MEAC Tournament, which runs March 9-14 at the Norfolk Scope.
