Shaw women top J.C. Smith to win CIAA championship

Shaw University Women's Basketball Head Coach Jacques Curtis
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina -- The Shaw women won their seventh CIAA conference championship in nine years under coach Jacques Curtis after defeating Johnson C. Smith 72-66 on Saturday in Charlotte.

The Bears and Golden Bulls know each other quite well in the finals. The teams have met five times since 2003 and four of the last seven seasons. Shaw has won them all.

"At this point, there are no secrets between us," Shaw coach Jacques Curtis said. "We knew it would be a hard fought game with them because they are a well coached team, and it's tough playing them in Charlotte."

Shaw's nine total championships ties it with former CIAA member Norfolk State. Curtis has already laid down the gauntlet for next year.
