Pitts secures first double-double of the season in Viking's win over Saint Augustine's 59-48

Box Score RALEIGH, N.C. - 

In the second match of the December CIAA road matchups, the Elizabeth City State Lady Vikings defeated the Lady Falcons of Saint Augustine's 59-46. Senior forward Sireann Pitts dropped a double-double with 18 points and 14 rebounds. The Vikings improve to 7-3 and earn their first victory in conference play (1-1 CIAA). Pitts was the only player in double figures for the Vikings, but she was able to get help from her teammates in other ways. Junior guard Naomi Lockamy was the team adhesive needed to produce quality defensive stops. The Wake Forest native had a game-high four steals (two back-to-back) while securing seven points and four assists of her own while five players tied for a steal each. The Vikings were able to get out to an early lead, scoring the first eight points of the game on a floating jumper by Pitts and a three-pointer by junior guard NyAsia Blango. In the second half, the Lady Falcons were able to cut into the lead with a series of  scores and a three-pointer by senior guard Taniyah Green but Pitts answered back with another jumper to give her team a 10-3 gap in the final minutes of the second half. The Vikings will continue their road game assault as they seek their second conference victory at Fayetteville State on December 19. Tip-off is slated for 5:30 p.m.
