ETTRICK, Virginia — Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association play has been unkind to Virginia State’s women.The Trojans, who completed their nonconference schedule at 7-3, lost their third straight contest Monday night when they fell 71-59 to 18 th-ranked Shaw at Daniel Gymnasium. Each of the Trojans’ loses during the skid has come against a CIAA opponent.
“Our performance wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t what we wanted,” said Virginia State coach James Hill Jr. “Our defensive intensity wasn’t there and that’s something we talk about every day at practice — about how hard we want to make stops on defense.”
Said Hill, “I don’t know what it is, but it seems that after Christmas, we start off slow every year. It’s just one of those things. But as I told the team, if we continue to work hard good things will happen.”
The Trojans were led by Lamesha Deal’s 14 points, all of them in the second 20 minutes. Deal also collected nine rebounds. Da’Shae Jones came off the bench to score 13 points and Kiara Walton added 10.
