BOWIE, Md. - The Lady Bulldogs basketball team scored their second lowest point of the season in Saturday night's 56-39 loss to Elizabeth City State University. The setback drops the Bowie State University record to 6-13 overall, 3-8 in the CIAA and 2-3 in the division. 
Senior Jasmine Jacobs (Baltimore, Md.) paced Bowie State with 10 points to go along with a team-high three assists. Sophomores Channell Mackey (Clinton, Md.) and Bria Robinson (Richmond, Va.) added eight points each as the Lady Bulldogs were 13-of-45 shooting from the floor for a season-low 28.9 percent.

The Lady Bulldogs fell behind 18-9 midway through the first half and never got on track. Elizabeth City State jumped out to a 7-0 lead to start the game before junior Moriah Goodman scored BSU’s first two points at the 17:14 mark. The Lady Bulldogs went as a cold as the night air over the next three minutes until a Robinson jumper put two more points on the home side of the scoreboard.

Bowie State was able to close the deficit to 10-7 following a pair of Mackey free throws, but Elizabeth City State stretched the lead to 19 by intermission at 33-14.

The division leading Lady Vikings (18-3, 10-1 CIAA, 5-0 North) extended the advantage to 44-23 after a lay-up by Shartara Jackson (Wilmington, N.C.) with 10:30 remaining. Elizabeth City State extended their cushion to a game-high 25 points (48-23) and would not allow Bowie State to get any closer than 13 points at 50-37 with 3:58 left to play.

Stephanie Harper (Charlestown, IL) led three Lady Vikings in double figures with 17 points and tied for game-high rebound honors with seven. Jackson and Jasmine Whitehurst (Elizabeth City, N.C.) registered 11 and 10 points respectively. De’Rya Wylie (Salisbury, N.C.) tied Harper with seven rebounds and Whitehurst was the leading setup person for the Lady Vikings with a team-high three assists.

Elizabeth City State ended the night with a 41.3 shooting percentage (19-of-46) and the Lady Vikings out-rebounded the Lady Bulldogs 35-25.

Bowie State will not play again for seven days, making their next court appearance on Saturday (February 9th) on the road against Lincoln University of Pennsylvania. Tip time is set for 2 pm.
