Lady Bulldogs Battle UAPB, Fall 61-57

PINE BLUFF, Ark. --- The Alabama A&M women's basketball team lost a 61-57 hard fought battle to University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff Monday night despite its second half surge. The Lady Bulldogs were led by Jameica Cobb who scored 21-points which included 5-of-6 from the charity stripe.
 
With the loss, the Lady Bulldogs fall to 2-11 on the season while the Lady Lions improve to 4-10.

Besides Cobb, Alabama A&M had two other players reach double figures – senior Ebony Johnson (12) and freshman Lauren McKee (10). Johnson also led the Lady Bulldogs defensively with eight rebounds.

The Lady Bulldogs got off to a slow start in the first half, falling behind 7-0 to start the game. The Lady Bulldogs got on the board after a jumper from freshman Juliette Akinwole at 5:33 in the first quarter. AAMU went on a quick 2-0 run to tie the game, 7-7, after a 3-pointer and layup from senior Josta Totten. After that, both teams traded baskets which resulted in three lead changes.

With 1:44 remaining in the second quarter, the Lady Bulldogs went on a 7-2 run to take a 23-18 lead into halftime.
