NORFOLK, Virginia -- Sophomore forward Ebony Brown scored 23 points and held the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s most dynamic scorer in relative check, leading Norfolk State to a 72-55 upset victory over Florida A&M this afternoon in the first round of the MEAC women’s basketball tournament at Scope.
The 10th-seeded Spartans (7-21) take on No. 2 seed North Carolina A&T on Wednesday at 2:30.
Brown made 8 of 13 shots and limited Florida A&M’s Jasmine Grice to 13 points. Grice tallied a MEAC season-high 42 points to lead Florida A&M, the tournament’s No. 7 seed, to an overtime victory over Norfolk State last week.
Grice scored just eight today when the game was still in doubt and just three in the first half.
