NORFOLK, Va. — April McBride scored a game-high 20 points, while Chena Parker had a double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds to carry the Maryland Eastern Shore women’s basketball team to a ¬76-56 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference win over Norfolk State on Saturday afternoon at Echols Hall. With the win, UMES improved to 8-11 over and 5-4 in the MEAC while NSU fell to 3-15, 0-8.
The game started on a bad note for the Lady Hawks as they were assessed a technical foul to start the game for failing to report the game starters prior to the game. But UMES got off the hook when Tyisha Bridges (Greensboro, N.C.) missed both free throws.
