Final Stats

Everything pretty much went as planned for the Alabama State Lady Hornets for the first 30 minutes of their game against Alcorn State Monday night. They led 39-32 by forcing the Lady Braves into turnovers and bad shots - typical defense from a team coached by Freda Freeman-Jackson.

Then, something just happened.

Alcorn started having success going inside, and the Lady Hornets simply couldn't make any shots. The result was an 18-0 Alcorn run and a 50-39 loss.

ASU missed 12 straight shots, committed 11 turnovers and didn't score a single point in the last 10:26 of the game.

ASU had 32 turnovers for the game, and shot only 23% in the second half.

Alcorn (10-8, 6-2 SWAC) was led by Shawntawnee Collins' 17 points.

Assunta Fulgham was the only Lady Hornet in double figures with 10 points. Essence Butler scored 9 and L'Teisha Holloway scored eight, as she played only 18 minutes due to foul trouble.

ASU (5-13, 2-5 SWAC) will try to rebound when they play at Prairie View on Saturday night.
