O'Quinn, NSU Spartans roll in double OT win over Coppin State Eagles

BALTIMORE, MD - Kyle O'Quinn, who just hours earlier was named MEAC Player of the Week, sank two free throws with 4.5 seconds left in double overtime Monday night as Norfolk State topped Coppin State 110-108 at the Coppin State Physical Education Complex.

O'Quinn, a 6-foot-10 junior center, scored a career-high 37 points, grabbed 19 rebounds and blocked six shots as the Spartans won their fifth straight. O'Quinn was coming off games of 26 and 24 points in wins over South Carolina State and Morgan State. But Norfolk State (7-13, 5-3 MEAC ) had many heroes in this one.

Poor shooting foils NSU women

BALTIMORE - The Norfolk State women were doomed by 29 turnovers and poor shooting Monday night in a 64-55 MEAC loss at Coppin State. Tyisha Bridges led NSU (8-10, 1-7) with 14 points while Sarah Daily chipped in 13.

Coppin State (7-12, 4-4) attempted 20 more free throws than the Spartans and was paced by Larissa Carter, who finished with 18 points.

Eagles Prevail Over Norfolk State 64-55

Coppin State (7-12, 4-4 MEAC) played the game without Jeanine Manley, Crystal Whittington and Leola Spotwood who were all suspended for one game following their involvement in an on-court altercation following the Eagles 75-74 loss to North Carolina A&T on Saturday.
