The Lady Bison advanced to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) championship game with a 51-43 victory over the Lady Rattlers.
Head Coach LeDawn Gibson felt her team failed to get in sync during the first half.
"We just told everybody to just stay together and just keep plugging at them one basket at a time. We had a goal of going in at halftime down by just 10 points or less. We kept chipping away" Gibson said.
"In the end, Antonia Bennett and Qiana Donald's foul trouble escalated the problems. I don't think we played as aggressive without Bennett and Donald," she added.
Jasmine Grice led the Lady Rattlers with 14 points on 5-of-18 shooting from the field. In one crucial stretch as FAMU was clawing its way back into the game, Grice scored five straight points. Donald and Bennett would finish with 13 points each. With the Lady Rattlers' usual balanced scoring attack, only four players scored in this game. Jamie Foreman led the Lady Rattlers on the board with 11 on the day.
