Lady Broncos Beat CIAA Powerhouse
By: Ashley Smith
The Voice
In an extremely close game, the
Lady Broncos basketball team rose
to defeat CIAA powerhouse Shaw
University on November 21, 85-81.
Junior Tenisha McArthur led
Fayetteville State on the road to
victory. With 21 points during
the game, McArthur dominated
Fayetteville State's possessions with
11 rebounds and hitting 5 of 6 free
throws.
Other players for the Broncos
also helped to shape the game's
outcome. Passion Phillips, a junior
from Charlotte, had the second
highest points on the team with 14,
and Chelsea Jeter, a sophomore and
a CIAA All-Conference Pre-season
team pick, had 12 points.
Jocabia Lucas also hod an
impressive game, hitting 9 of 13 from
the free throw line.
The game held a large amount
of symbolic value as well. The Shaw
Bears have won the Women's CIAA
championship the last four years. Until
the bout with the Broncos, Shaw hod
been unbeaten by CIAA opponents in
77 games. The Broncos had not won
against Shaw since 1998, with this
past week's game ending a six-game
losing streak against the Bears.
The game stayed evenly matched
throughout the night, with Shaw
maintaining a close lead over the
Broncos throughout the first half. As
the half ended, with Shaw up 40-38,
Fayetteville State knew they had to
come out of the locker room pumped
during the second half.
The Broncos came out fighting
with rebounds and points by
McArthur and Jeter, as well as
help from other Lady Broncos like
sophomore Jarama McMillion and
Jocabia Lucas, who shot a series of
free throws during the half.
The teams were neck and neck
throughout the entire half, making
baskets back and fourth as one team
tried to pull away from the other.
As the final seconds of the clock
trimmed down the Broncos managed
to pull just out of Shaw's reach and
went on to win the game by four
points.
Shaw out-shot the Broncos in
the paint, which gave them an edge
during the game. However, the
Broncos managed to pull more points
off of turnovers and hod 12 more
bench points (points scored by non
starters) than the Bears. Fayetteville
State's ability to get the ball around
to a variety of players kept the Bears
on their toes, and never gave them
the opportunity to set up an adequate
defense.
The Lady Broncos are off to a
good start after knocking Shaw off
of their powerhouse pedestal. With
a slew of conference games coming
up over the next month it will be
interesting to see how the Broncos
hold up under pressure.
Do we smell a CIAA
Championship?
