Women’s basketball won a Saturday afternoon contest against New Orleans 79-61. Senior forward Trajata Colbert was the team’s leading scorer with 19 points and nine rebounds.
“What I like about [Trajata] is that she keeps playing,” head coach Keitha Adams said. “Even around the basket, she was pretty active and we did a good job of getting the ball inside. I just thought she played hard.”
The Shockers held New Orleans scoreless for more than half of the first quarter until their leading scorer, junior guard Dearica Pryor, made a 3-pointer.
“One thing I said was a goal for our team was to hold them scoreless until the first media timeout,” Colbert said.
