The FAMU Lady Rattlers (1-0, 0-0 MEAC) opened their season with a 78-59 win against the Jacksonville University Lady Dolphins (0-2).
Antonia Bennett (pictured) led all scorers with 27 points. Qiana Donald, one of the best rebounders in Lady Rattlers history, grabbed 13 rebounds. She also scored 13 points.
While the Lady Rattlers pulled out the victory, Coach LeDawn Gibson felt the team has room for improvement.
"The first few minutes we played real sloppy," Gibson said. "We didn't protect the ball well. We had several turnovers in the first half and that led to low scoring output in the half. After the half, I think the team worked much more cohesively. They turned up the defense and that led to the increase in scoring."
