NCCU (1-5, 1-0) made a statement in its MEAC opener, defeating the 2015 MEAC Tournament runner-up Maryland Eastern Shore by three (49-46) on Saturday. The Lady Eagles, who won their MEAC opener for only the second time (2013-14), will be trying to start 2-0 in the league for the first time since joining the MEAC in 2010-11.  Junior Morgan Jones tallied a new season-high point total for a second straight game with 15 points against UMES to increase her season averages to 8.5 points and 2.5 assists. Senior Tisha Dixon leads the Lady Eagles with 11.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. NCCU fourth year coach Vanessa Taylor, who is in her 22nd year overall as a head coach, coached her 600th career game on Saturday (319 wins, .533 win percentage).
 
HOWARD (0-9, 0-1) remained winless on the young season after losing to preseason favorite North Carolina A&T, 88-70, in its MEAC opener Saturday. Despite the winless record, the Bison have one of the league's top performers as senior center Victoria Gonzalez leads the MEAC with 18.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. Gonzalez is a preseason All-MEAC honoree for a second straight year. Junior forward Sydni Johnson makes Howard's frontcourt formidable, adding 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. The Bison have been plagued by a league-worst 23.2 turnovers per game. Howard defeated NCCU by five (70-65) last season in Washington, D.C. and is 6-0 all-time versus NCCU.
