Box Score BOWIE, Md. - The third contest of a three-game home stand started slow for the Bowie State University women's basketball team and ended the same as the Lady Bulldogs fell to Winston-Salem State, 66-41, Monday evening at the A.C. Jordan Arena. PHOTOS

The Lady Rams scored the first seven points of the game and never looked back as they improved to 7-6 overall and 2-1 in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
Meanwhile, the Lady Bulldogs fell to 4-7 overall and 1-2 in the CIAA.

The Lady Rams' defense stifled the Lady Bulldogs' offense, as no Bowie State player scored in double figures.

Junior guard Alessandra Flores Conway (Hagerstown, Md.) led all Lady Bulldogs' scorers with eight points. Senior guard Jasmine Jacobs (Baltimore, Md.) score seven points and had a team-high six rebounds. Sophomore guard/forward Bria Robinson (Richmond, Va.) chipped in seven points.

On the other end, the Lady Rams had four players score in double figures as junior guard Taylar Wells (Stafford, Va.) led the way with 14 points and four rebounds. Lady Rams' Schatavia Gray (Atlanta, Ga.) had a solid effort with 11 points and a game-high eight rebounds. WSSU sophomore Jovonah Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.) had 12 points along with six rebounds and junior guard Tereka Cesar (Brooklyn, N.Y.) had 11 points and five rebounds. Junior guard Keyrra Gillespie (Statesville, N.C.) had a game-high seven assists along with seven points for the Lady Rams.

Barely six minutes into the game, the Lady Bulldogs trailed, 13-2, but would cut the lead to 16-10 at the 8:16 mark of the first half after a three-point field goal by Flores Conway.
That would be the closest the Lady Bulldogs would get for the remainder of the game.
With just under a minute remaining in the contest, the Lady Rams led by 28 as the Lady Bulldogs' second-leading scorer Brooke Miles (Upper Marlboro, Md.) was held to just five points while third-leading scorer Jasmine McIntosh (Bowie, Md.) was contained to just two points.

“We didn't execute at all … They (WSSU) came to play and we didn't right out of the gate”, said second year head coach Renard Smith. “Not making excuses, we only brought back four players from last season and only two of them were starters … We have a really young team.”

The Lady Bulldogs will hit the road for the next three conference games, making a Thursday (January 10th) stop at St. Augustine's University.
