TALLAHASSEE, FL - Slow starts are nothing new for the Morgan State women’s basketball team, of course not to the liking of head coach Donald Beasley. Matter of fact – slow stats are what the Lady Bears seem to be accustomed to.

So the constant stoppage of play during the first half of Saturday afternoon’s Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference game at Florida A&M, due to a malfunction in the shot clock, played no effect on the Lady Bears getting into a flow.

Morgan State fell behind by as much as 13 point (21-8) in the first half, but bounced back by forcing turnovers with its defense and scoring easy transition baskets to gain a 55-51 MEAC victory over FAMU at Gaither Gymnasium.

Corin Adams finished with a team-high 18 points and Shalane Price added 11 points for the visiting Lady Bears, who dealt FAMU its third loss in its last four games.

With the victory, Morgan State (15-9, 7-4 MEAC) extended its winning streak to a season-tying four games and won just its fifth game over the Lady Rattlers in the series’ 36 meetings, while earning it second two-game winning steak over FAMU in the series.
