Box Score

MURFREESBORO, N.C. - Forward Terri Jacobs (Jr./McDonough, GA) posted a double-double of 20 points and 14 rebounds for Saint Augustine's University in an 82-66 CIAA women's basketball loss to Chowan University at the Helms Center on Monday, January 5, 2015.

The loss snapped the Lady Falcons' five-game winning streak. They are 1-1 in the CIAA and 7-4 overall. The Hawks improved to 2-1 in the CIAA and 6-7 overall.

Guard Jeanne-Marie Wilson (Jr./Temple Hills, MD) added 16 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals for the Lady Falcons. Guard Porscha Walton (Jr./Chesterfield, VA) chipped in 14 points and guard LaKiya Rouse (Jr./Greensboro, NC) had seven points and eight rebounds. For Chowan, Rachel Gostomski and Dhyamond Crenshaw each scored 15 points.

The Lady Falcons only trailed 36-28 at halftime, but the Hawks went on a 32-17 run in the second half for a 68-45 lead with 4:04 left. Bolstered by their pressure defense, the Lady Falcons fought valiantly in the closing minutes. A 17-4 run capped by Rouse's three-point play brought the Lady Falcons within 72-62 at the 1:32 mark, but they would get no closer.

"An absolutely disappointing loss," Lady Falcons' Head Coach Rachel Bullard said. "We came out flat and Chowan took advantage of it. We turned the ball over and missed crucial defensive assignments. Terri Jacobs had a great game but it was too late. We have to decide to play at the beginning of the game so we're not playing catch up at the end. Tomorrow is a new day."

The Lady Falcons shot 30 percent but outrebounded the taller Hawks 51-44 including a 22-10 edge in offensive rebounds which led to 19 second-chance points. The Hawks made 49 percent of their shots.

The Lady Falcons will begin a three-game homestand at Emery Gymnasium on Thursday, January 8, 2015. They will host Bowie State University at 5:30 p.m.
