BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Hampton simply overwhelmed Morgan State in a 54-point victory when the teams first met last month. The song remained the same when they met again Monday night.The Lady Pirates dominated every aspect of the game. They used their staples, tough defense and solid rebounding, to overcome a bit of a slow start on offense and cruised to their 39th consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference victory in a 90-46 rout of Morgan State at Hill Field House.
Hampton (18-4, 9-0 in MEAC) has won 25 consecutive road games in conference. The Pirates are on an eight-game winning streak overall this season.
Alyssa Bennett led Hampton with 22 points as four Lady Pirates scored in double figures. Malia Tate-DeFreitas and Nicole Hamilton both added 17 points and nine rebounds while Kenia Cole chipped in 15 points. Sade King (eight points) and Brielle Ward (seven points, nine rebounds) pitched in on a night when HU needed over three minutes to score its first basket.
"We were a little lax in the first half (on offense)," Hampton coach David Six said. "(Eventually) they figured out what they should do."
