HAMPTON, Va. -- Bernadette Fortune scored 30 points and added 11 assists as Hampton knocked off N.C. A&T 90-80 on Monday night in MEAC women's basketball. It was the first conference loss of the season for the Aggies (17-8, 11-1). Hampton is 14-10 overall, 9-3 in the league. Jaleesa Sams led A&T with a career-high 28 points and 10 rebounds. JaQuayla Berry added 20 points, and MEAC Player of the Week Lamona Smalley recorded her fourth double-double in five games (16 points, 12 rebounds).
"That was our first loss," said Patricia Cage-Bibbs, A&T's coach. "I'd much rather have it happen now than to have it happen in the tournament. My young ladies really wanted to go undefeated in the conference. ... If we take care of business, everything will be fine."
