VSU Lady Trojans go to work

ETTRICK, VA - While millions of Americans relaxed, belts still loosened, the Virginia State women's basketball team went to work in the second game of the third annual VSU Thanksgiving Classic. After trailing by five at halftime, VSU used its relentless pressure to overtake Saginaw Valley State and run away with a 61-50 victory on Black Friday at Daniel Gymnasium.

The Lady Trojans showed no symptoms of lingering Thanksgiving food comas in the early going as seniors Nia Thompson and Morgan McGill helped guide the home team to a blistering start. Thompson converted a layup in transition to open the scoring and stole the ensuing inbound pass. The 5-10 shooting guard then found a streaking McGill for another easy bucket.
