The 5-8 sophomore known as "Tweet" is from Seventy-First H.S., Fayetteville, N.C.GREENSBORO, N.C. – If the North Carolina A&T women’s basketball team was the stock market all indicators would be positive. On Saturday, the Aggies defeated their arch-rival Winston-Salem State 71-51 at Irvin Corbett Court.
Hampton’s loss to Coppin State on Saturday left the Aggies as the only team with an undefeated record in the MEAC, while giving them a full-game lead at the top of the MEAC standings at 5-0. Their five-game winning streak is their longest in 12 seasons, and their Pack the House night drew a record crowd of 3,813 fans.
But like the stock market, a basketball season fluctuates from time to time so head coach Patricia Cage-Bibbs doesn’t want to see her team get complacent with its early-season success.
“We had a lot of turnovers, but that is about the average,’’ said Bibbs. “We can not keep playing like this. We played against a team tonight that is very, very young, but that team hustled. They really did. I really was not satisfied with the way we played. We won the game but I was not satisfied with the way we played. We play in a tough conference, so we can’t afford to let up.”

The Hampton University vs. North Carolina A&T games should be a classic barn burner. However, the Lady Aggies must face South Carolina State and Howard University at home on Monday and Saturday, respectively, before they can look ahead to the Feb. 4 showdown with the Hampton Pirates.
