Miss USA, Wilmington’s own Kristen Dalton graced the Shark Tank with a visit at the Shark’s home opener Thursday night.

Dalton stole the spotlight for just a moment as she met with fans players, coaches and of course Sharky before the game. It truly was a moment to remember, followed by a memorable Sharks 6-4 win.
