Norfolk, VA. – Junior forward Chelsea Sanders tied a career-high with 22 points and four assists as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore took down Old Dominion University with a 63-59 victory on Wednesday afternoon at Ted Constant Convention Center, one of the toughest places to play in women’s basketball.
The game proved to be a career-high effort for several Lady Hawks, who used a resilient 2-3 defense to limit the Monarchs to a 3-for-22 performance from three-point range in the first ever meeting between the two programs.
The Lady Hawks defeated the Lady Monarchs in Norfolk, where Old Dominion has nearly an 84% winning percentage in its history.
Sanders and Agbasi led the charge for the women but it was the fantastic play off the bench by Braxton and freshman guard Jessica Long that made the difference. The pair handled the point guard position well, where they directed the offense and overcame strong play by the Monarch front court.
Along with her 22 points and four assists, Sanders had six rebounds and a pair of steals. Agbasi and Braxton each collected career-highs in points with 19 and eight, respectively, with Agbasi shooting 9-11 from the field.
