FGs Hornet Honors HONORS Devin All-MEAC Morgan Preseason Second Team Kavon Waller Preseason (sr.) All-MEAC Forward Second Team DeAndre Haywood Preseason All-MEAC Third Team SHOOTING WOES Delaware State is looking to break out of a season-long shooting slump. Through 11 games, the Hornets are shooting just 39.1% from the field (240-for-614). DSU has yet to hit the 50% mark in a game this season. Delaware State was a 41.9% shooting team during the season. The Hornets are also struggling from three-point range this season, hitting just 57 of 201 shots from beyond the arc for a 28.4% clip. Last season, DSU shot 41.9% from the floor and 36.2% from three-point range. Delaware State is averaging 5.2 three-pointers per game this season, down from 8.2 per contest a year ago. The three-ball played a key role in Delaware State s fortunes during the season. The Hornets were tops in the MEAC in three-point FG percentage (.361) and second in three-pointers per game (8.4 pg) last season. DSU was 244-for-676 from beyond the arc a year ago. The 263 threes last season were the second-best single season mark in team history, trailing only the 282 in 36 games by the squad. INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR The Hornets again have a distinct international flavor. DSU s roster includes three international players. Center Demola Onifade (so.), born in Lagos, Nigeria, joined the team as a freshman in Onifade came to America at age 16, and attended Camden Catholic HS in N.J. Russia-born Artem Tavakalyan is in fourth year at Delaware State. He joined the Hornets before the season after attending the Florida Air Academy. Junior center Simon Okolue is of Nigerian descent, although he born in the U.S. TAVAKALYAN PROVIDES SPARK OFF THE BENCH Delaware State senior Artem Tavakalyan has made the most of his recent role as a reserve. Tavakalyan started the Hornets first five games, but has come off the bench in the last six contests. In the last five games, the Moscow, Russia native has scored 64 points (12.8 ppg), while shooting 60% from the floor (23-for-40), including 64.3% from threepoint range (9-for-14). Tavakalyan came off the bench to score a team -and-career-high 20 points in DSU s loss to East Carolina on Dec. 2, going 8-for-12 from the field and 3-of-4 on three-point shots in the game. He also led the Hornets with 13 points in a reserve role at Duquesne in the team s most recent contest on Dec. 9. Tavakalyan scored a team-high 18 points in the season opener against Div. II Cairn in his best game as a starter. For the season, he s tied for second on the Hornets with a 10.2 point per average, is second on the team with 12 three-points and third on the squad in rebounding at 4.8 per game.
