The Lady Eagles were within four points of CSU with six minutes left in the fourth quarter before being outscored 16-3 down the stretch. Senior Tisha Dixon, who leads NCCU with 10.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, recorded her third double-double of the season (10th career) with 14 points and 14 rebounds Thursday. Junior Morgan Jones follows Dixon with 10.4 points per game and leads the Lady Eagles with 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Senior Kristin Askew, who did not play Thursday, follows with 7.1 points per game.

MSU (9-15, 6-6) has won eight of its last 10 games to stay in contention for the MEAC regular season title despite losing to league frontrunner Hampton, 60-47, on Monday. The Lady Bears are in a three-way tie for second place in the standings, a half-game behind the Pirates. A quartet of sophomores lead MSU in scoring: Braennan Farrar (14.7), Tykyrah Williams (10.4), Lexus Spears (8.6) and Zuri White (5.2). Farrar, who gets a lot points from the free throw line with 91 made free throws (2nd MEAC) at 79.1-percent clip (3rd MEAC), also paces the Lady Bears with 3.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game.
