NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 19, 2019—Norfolk State redshirt senior Chanette Hicks and Delaware State junior Sharajah Collins were selected as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Women’s Basketball Co-Players of the Week, the conference office announced today.

She opened the week with a 24-point, 4-assist, 4-steal performance, going 7-for-15 from the floor and 3-for-6 from 3-point range in a 67-64 win over Delaware – the first win for the Hornets ever in that series.
