VIRGINIA UNION WINS REMATCH OVER BOWIE STATE LADY BULLDOGS 65-39



RICHMOND, Va. – Difficulty converting from the field plagued the Bowie State University women’s basketball team all evening in their road match against Virginia Union University as the Lady Bulldogs fell, 65-39, Wednesday evening.

The Lady Bulldogs shot just 21.8 percent for the game, including just 16 percent in the second half as they fell to 6-15 (3-10 Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association).

Meanwhile, the Lady Panthers evened their record to 11-11 overall and 8-6 in the CIAA.
The Lady Bulldogs led just once, 3-2, at the 19-minute, 26-second mark of the first half after a three-pointer by senior guard Jasmine Jacobs (Baltimore, Md.). Unfortunately, the Lady Bulldogs scored just 10 points over nearly the next 14 minutes and found themselves down, 28-13, before a layup by sophomore guard/forward Bria Robinson (Richmond, Va.) pulled the Bulldogs to within 13 at the 5:34 mark of the first half.

By halftime, the Lady Bulldogs trailed, 39-18.

The second half was dreadful as the Lady Bulldogs converted just four of 25 field goals and never got close.

Robinson led the Lady Bulldogs with 13 points and nine rebounds. Sophomore guard Channell Mackey (Clinton, Md.) had six points. Meanwhile, Jacobs chipped in five points and nine rebounds.

The Lady Bulldogs will wrap up the home portion of their 2012-2013 season on Saturday (February 16), hosting the Hawks of Chowan University. Prior to the 5:30 pm tipoff, seniors Jacobs and Cortney Baynard will be honored in a special pregame ceremony.
