WASHINGTON (January 23, 2023) – The Howard University women's basketball team earned a win over Coppin State University (CSU), 62-58, at Burr Gymnasium.

Three different Bison ended with double digit points:
Destiny Howell (Queens, N.Y.) with 20 points;

Brooklynn Fort-Davis (Chicago) with 10 points.
Howard had momentum after the first quarter, going on a 9-0 scoring run and holding a 15-4 advantage after one.
The Bison continued to put the pressure on, holding the Eagles to 14-percent (5-of-35). Although Coppin State made its run, the Bison held a 24-16 halftime lead.
In the third quarter, CSU took advantage of HU's poor shooting, but Howard closed the third quarter strong and opened the fourth stanza with several momentous plays, led by Howell.
"Everybody contributed to tonight's win," said Howell postgame. "We definitely focused on rebounding, which helped translate to offense."
Howard scored 16 fast break points against the Eagles.
CSU's Jewel Watkins finished with a double-double (20 points & 11 rebounds) in the loss.
