Final Stats

LAWRENCEVILLE, VA- The Elizabeth City State Lady Vikings toppled Saint Paul's College 66-55 Saturday afternoon at the Taylor-Whitehead Gymnasium.

With the loss Saint Paul's is denied a tie for first place with Bowie State University and ECSU earns a series split for the 2008-2009 season. The Lady Tigers defeated ECSU 85-72 back on January 22nd in Elizabeth City.

Offensively the Lady Tigers (10-12, CIAA 7-7) couldn't buy a basket in the second half and that ultimately sealed their fate. ECSU gave up only 17 second half points and more than doubled their opponents scoring 37 second half points. The Lady Vikings also made the most of their time at the free throw line sinking 19 of 23 attempts in the second stanza.

The Lady Tigers shot a dismal 28% from the floor (18-64) and was 0-11 from beyond the three-point arc. Tatiana Ellis was the only SPC player in double figures with a game high 18 points.

Briana Glover led four Lady Vikings in double figures with 17 points. Whitney Stokes scored a season high 12 points off the bench and was a perfect 8-8 from the free throw line. Ashley Anderson had a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds while Kearah Jefferys chipped in with 13 points.

The Lady Vikings (4-18, CIAA 2-12) will travel to Lincoln, PA to battle Lincoln University on Thursday, February 10th. Game time is scheduled for 5:30pm. For more information on ECSU Athletics, visit www.ecsuvikings.com.
