CHOWAN PREVAILS 64-50 OVER LADY BULLDOGS OF BOWIE STATE

Great Gifts For Sports Fans


MURFREESBORO, N.C. - The Bowie State University women’s basketball team shot just over 33 percent for the game and lost the rebounding battle as the Chowan Hawks prevailed, 64-50.

After a tough, eight-game stretch, the Lady Bulldogs fell to 5-12 on the year and 2-7 in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Meanwhile, the Hawks won just their third game of the season and improved to 3-14 (3-6, CIAA).

For most of the game, the Lady Bulldogs and Hawks had a seesaw affair and were tied nine separate times.

Following the eighth tie, a 35-all, deadlock with 11:19 seconds remaining in the second half, the Hawks went on a 6-0 run and appeared to be pulling away.

But the Lady Bulldogs embarked on a 14-8 run of their own to tie the game for the final time at 44-44, with 6:19 left in the divisional contest.

A 9-0 run by the Hawks over the next two and-a-half minutes before a timeout virtually doomed the Lady Bulldogs who eventually fell by a 14-point margin.

Senior guard Jasmine Jacobs (Baltimore, Md.) led the way for the Lady Bulldogs with 17 points with seven rebounds while sophomore guard/forward Bria Robinson (Richmond, Va.) had 16 points and three steals.

The Lady Bulldogs will next play on Wednesday (January 30th) when they begin a two-game home stand against Virginia State University. Tip-time is set for 5:30 pm in the A.C. Jordan Arena.
