The Aggies have won four of their last six games. UNC-Greensboro was the latest victim ,72-57. A&T's losses were to Florida A&M (93 89 in overtime) and Delaware State (77-71). Jamaine Williams didn't suit up for A&T last season after hav ing to sit out a year because he transferred from Morgan State. But at this juncture, he's looking like a solid candidate for MEAC post-season honors. In the Aggies' last three outings, Williams had 55 points and 18 rebounds. Boger paced the Hornets with 33 points and 7 rebounds. For the night, Boger hit on 6 of 10 field goals and 5 of 7 three -poin^^gals, plus 16 of 18 free throws. D'Andre Parmley has also come through for Del State. Parm ley had 28 points and 1 3 rebounds last week. * In other action, Maryland Eastern Shore won its third straight game by besting South Carolina State, 78-75. The Hawks started the year in awful shape, losing their first 16 games. Marlin Kimbrew has proved himself to be a force for UMES with 41 points and 11 rebounds in two of the Hawks' last three vic tories. Florida A&M, the defending Rookie Phillip Allen has also stepped forward as a prime con tributor for A&T, producing 34 points and 13 rebounds in three games. But the major story of the season so far is Howard Universi ty, who downed two-time MEAC regular season champ Coppin State 69-64 last Saturday to shake up the league standings. The Bison (7-2, 9-11) had sole posses sion of the top spot in the confer ence at the start of the week. Against Coppin, the Bison were led by Julius McNeil who scored 25 points. Howard's win \ was the second one over the Eagles within the span of a week. McNeil, however, wasn't the sole source for Howard during the rise to first place. In two victories last week, Milan Brown had 18 points, 8 assists and four boards. Rookie guard Tommy Brown peformed admirably as the team's floor leader at point guard. The Eagles loss put them in a three-way tie for third place with North Carolina A&T and Florida A&M. All three teams have 6-3 records in conference play. Delaware State secured sec ond place in the league standings by topping North Carolina A&T. Sharpshooting guard Tyrone MEAC tournament champ, upped its record to 6-3, 9-11 by stomp ing Bethune-Cookman, 88-65. A&M's Reginald Finney and B CC's Reggie Cunningham are clearly two of the league's bright est stars. FAMU went 2-1 last week with Finney being a major factor, totaling 54 points, 21 rebounds, 13 asssists and 7 steals. Cunningham was highly pro ductive last week, tallying 44 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in two games. WOMEN - Defending regu lar season champion South Caroli na State earned a first place tie with Maryland-Eastern Shore by nipping the Lady Hawks, 57-56. Wanda Wiggins is the catalyst for the Lady Bulldogs who went 3-0 last week. In wins over UMES, Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M, Wiggins scored 50 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to go along with 8 assists and 6 steals. Other notable MEAC perfor mances were turned in by Howard guard Dorothy Hunter who had 45 points, 27 rebounds and 8 assists in three games. Bethune's Amanda Jones has produced admirably in spite of her team's inability to win consistent ly. Jones had 51 points and 38 rebounds in three losses. 8 rebounds in one game, while North Carolina A&T's Rob- Delaware State's Kim Taylor bin Williams totaled 16 points and scored M points in two defeats.
