to give them their first CAA loss. This is a big help for our tournament resume.
Nice for Delaware.....

So Delaware has now beaten 2 Top 25 teams. Their RPI should go up, not sure how in the end it might help us since we beat them but hopefully it would. Beating a ranked team ourselves would really give us that next level of respect.

Sadly, beating a team that beats a team doesn't get you respect. However, it will definitely help our SOS which is a part of the RPI.
Until we knock off what the media considers a "good" team, we're not going to get respect that a Major gets.

Yup -- this just gives Delaware a better shot of sneaking into the RPI top-25, which might help us get a little better seeding/placement. They're our best win, so it helps a lot if they can run the table in the CAA tourney. They have 2 pansies in their last two league games.
