HOW IT HAPPENED
  • DSU and CBU traded the lead four times in the first four minutes of the game, as Emily Jones hit three three-point shots for the Lady Bucs.
  • Both teams couldn't make a bucket for over two minutes towards the end of the opening quarter until Shaniyah Buford made a layup to tie the game at 15 at the end of the first.
  • The Lady Statesmen then went on an 8-0 run early in the first two minutes of the second quarter to push the lead out to 27-19.
  • DSU made it an 11-point lead before CBU answered and cut the deficit to 39-35 at the half.
  • Delta State went on another run, this one a 7-0 spurt, behind a couple of layups from Smith. They also held the Lady Bucs scoreless for three and half minutes to take a 54-42 lead.
  • At the end of the quarter, Brynne Lytle scored five straight points to make it 56-49, but that's as close as it got for CBU.
  • Two baskets from Ewing and Buford pushed the lead for DSU out to as many as 18 points in the fourth quarter.
  • CBU ended the game on a 8-4 run to make the final score 78-64.
TURNING POINT
  • A steal by Alanna Smith and a layup by Kaylyn Wilson capped off a 9-2 run and forced a CBU timeout. That run made it 53-42 with 3:20 left in the third quarter, and DSU never led by fewer than 10 points from that point on.  
STAT OF THE GAME
  • The Lady Statesmen held CBU's leading scorer Brynne Lytle to 17 points on 3-20 shooting from the field. CBU was also just 7-for-31 from the three-point line as a team.
NOTABLES

  • Ewing had a career-high 21 rebounds and a season-high 25 points.
  • DSU outrebounded CBU 52-36, which is the second straight game where the Lady Statesmen had 15 more rebounds than their opponent.
