Women's Basketball Looks To Lay The Foundation For Program's Success

For various reasons, Delaware Technical Community College has been unable to field a women's basketball team since 2018. But that is likely to change as the program is ready to return to the court for the 2021-2022 season.

"The biggest challenge of resuming a program that hasn't played since 2018 is finding ways to keep student-athletes invested in rebuilding a program," Head Coach Megan Fox said. "With the pandemic cancelling our opportunity to play last season, we are looking forward to getting on the court."

Fox took over the program during the COVID-19 pandemic and has been working diligently to recruit players to help bring the program back to prominence. That means the team has to be competitive on the court, and the student-athletes must be successful academically.

"My expectations for the team this year are that we compete at a high level and stay disciplined on the court and in the classroom," Fox said. "One of our main team goals is to for every second-year student-athlete to graduate and attend a four-year university if they choose."

Fox said the team will be led by Daqira Lancaster-Navarro (Delcastle Technical High School) and Melena Credle (Smyrna High School), two players who were going to play last season, but have continued with the College and shown tremendous leadership abilities while they await their opportunity to take the court. Sierra Smith (Woodbridge High School) and Armani Bell-Jackson (Brandywine High School) should also provide the team with plenty of scoring. Other players include Destiny Kirkaldy-Williams (Freire Charter School), Jazmine Snell (Seaford High School), Latavia Todd (William Penn High School), Dymond Gordon (Newark High School), and Diamond Ryals (Hodgson Vo-Tech).

"Fans can expect to see up-tempo play from us this season," Fox said. "Our roster is primarily composed of quick guards who like to attack the rim and push the ball down the court."

Delaware Tech returns to the court at home on Nov. 4 against Community College of Philadelphia, and on Nov. 6 against Montgomery County Community College.

"In order to consider this season a success we need to win games," Fox said. "We need to show our conference and the state that the Delaware Tech women's basketball program is a place where student-athletes want to come and play."
