Morgan Sweeps Rival Coppin State, 65-56 on Senior Night

Corin 'Tiny' Adams is Bears' all-time leading scorer of either gender.

The petite 5-foot-5 guard from Brooklyn, New York, turned down Syracuse University in 2006, to come run the show for the Lady Bears for four straight season.


BALTIMORE, MD - Playing in her final home game at Hill Field House, Corin Adams, scored 16 of her game-high 20 points in the first half and fellow senior Kristina Rosario pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds to go with six points, as Morgan State defeated crosstown rival Coppin State, 65-56 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference season finale on Thursday night.

Theresa Davis came off the bench due to senior night and chipped in with 13 points to help the Lady Bears close out the regular season with a 9-1 home mark. Adams, who entered the contest with 535 points this season, finished the regular season with 555, setting the single season scoring record, which she set last season with 547 points.

With the victory Morgan State improved to 17-12 on the season and 12-4 in the MEAC and likely will enter next week’s league tournament as the third seed. Their 12-4 conference mark ties the school record for MEAC victories and is the best overall record, surpassing the 12-6 mark set by the 1999-2000 team.
