Women's Basketball Falls to North Carolina A&T

GREENSBORO, NC --- Redshirt freshman guard Essence Brown poured in a career-high 23 points to lead four players in double figures but it was not enough to offset a second half explosion by North Carolina A&T as the Aggies pulled away to an 88-70 win over Howard in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) opener for both teams Saturday afternoon at the Corbett Sports Arena.

Brown went 9-of-12 from the field (including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc) as the winless Bison (0-9, 0-1 MEAC) played the hosts close through three quarters, trailing 44-41 at the 5:46 mark.

From there, North Carolina A&T (3-4, 1-0 MEAC) began to get its offense in motion, using a balanced attack of inside play from April McRae & perimeter shooting from Dana Brown and Kala Green.

Howard was hurt by untimely turnovers and foul trouble in the latter parts of the game. With the game still close late in the third quarter, Howard turned the ball over on four straight possessions and allowed the Aggies to pull away.

To compound its problems, the starting frontcourt of senior center Victoria Gonzales and junior forward Sydni Johnson got into foul trouble and had to sit during an extended stretch of the second half.

With the Bison's top two leading scorers duo on the bench, the Aggies pulled away, using a 14-2 run early in the fourth to seal their victory.

Johnson finished with 13 points and Gonzales added 12 before fouling out of the game. Freshman guard Shaylon Tarver also reached double figures with 10 points.

The Aggies were led by Brown (20 points), McRae (15 points, 10 rebounds) andGreen (14).

NEXT UP
Howard will complete its North Carolina MEAC opening road trip with a Monday evening matchup with North Carolina Central in Durham, NC. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
