HAMPTON, Virginia — Alyssa Bennett and Nicole Hamilton didn't start out close, but sharing a hometown, a locker room, an academic path and a quest for excellence forged a bond that they hope leads to a place in history.Bennett and Hamilton are the senior ringleaders of a Hampton University women's basketball team aiming for a second consecutive undefeated Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference season and an unprecedented fifth straight NCAA tournament berth.
Expect little outward sentiment when the Hampton natives play their final home game 6 p.m. Thursday as the Lady Pirates (24-4, 15-0 MEAC) face second-place North Carolina A&T at the HU Convocation Center.
"They've put their stamp on Hampton University basketball," Lady Pirates coach David Six said. "They'll be hard to replace."
