For the second straight game, senior Lamona Smalley flirted with a triple-double as she finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Fellow senior Ta'Wuana “Tweet” Cook finished with 22 points on 5-for-7 shooting from 3-point range.

The win improved the Aggies to 17-7 overall and 11-0 in the MEAC. A win on Monday night against Hampton could secure the No. 1 seed for the Aggies in the MEAC Tournament held in Winston-Salem March 8-13.

“They're focused and I like that,'' said head coach Patricia Cage-Bibbs. “They really want to go undefeated and that's good. But I think if you asked each lady, they would tell you they would rather win the championship than go undefeated. That tells me our mindset is where it needs to be.”

The Bison, who traditionally play the Aggies well at Burr Gymnasium, held a 23-18 lead with seven minutes remaining. But on the Aggies next possession, Tyronnica Alford sliced to the basket and received a pass from Smalley for an easy layup. It was followed by a 3-pointer and 3-point play from Cook to give the Aggies a 26-23 lead. The Aggies would go on to end the first half on a 24-2 run to take a 42-25 halftime lead.

“In years past we've had a tough time getting out of Burr Gym with a win,'' said Bibbs. “But they are determined not to let anything stand in their way. This is the best game we've played in this gym since I've been coaching here.”

The Bison was led freshman Saadia Doyle who had 20 points and 10 rebounds. Zykia Brown finished with 19 points although she scored 14 of those points in the first 13 minutes of the game.

“With a player like Brown, you can let her get any easy looks,'' said Bibbs. “We told the ladies in the timeout, 'we can't let her get easy looks at the basket. It stops here.' We didn't even want her touching the ball.”
