HAMPTON, Virginia — It's no secret that the strength of Hampton University's women's basketball team is on the perimeter. When the Lady Pirates get inside production, it makes their lives much easier.The interior tandem of Kaylah Lupoe and Brielle Ward complemented guards Kyani White and Malia Tate-DeFreitas, and Hampton weathered a second-half run to bounce Howard 80-61 Monday at the Hampton Convocation Center.
"You've got to be able to go inside and get something," HU coach David Six said, "and I thought we did a good job of that tonight."
Hampton (12-11, 8-2 MEAC) won its second game in a row after improbably losing two of three to tighten the conference race.
Lupoe, the 6-foot-2 freshman from Arizona, recorded her first career double-double, with 10 points and 11 rebounds, in addition to six blocks. Ward grabbed 10 of her 13 rebounds in the first half and added six points.
