NOTABLE
- Schmidt is now just 33 points away from becoming the GSC’s all-time leading scorer.
- Earlier this week, Schmidt became just the fourth person in conference history to be named all-conference all four seasons.
- Delta State finished the game with just two turnovers, the lowest mark of the season.
UP NEXT
For the second straight year, DSU will face UAH in the semifinals, and the Statesmen will be looking to avenge last year’s defeat.
