NORFOLK, Virginia -- In a week full of March Madness at Scope, the Norfolk State women were happy to bring some sanity to the MEAC tournament.Fueled by a 13-0 run to open the game, the fourth-seeded Spartans closed the book on No. 12-seed Howard's Cinderella story with a 67-55 win in a Thursday afternoon MEAC quarterfinal.
With the win, NSU makes its first semifinals appearance since 2005. It was also a historic moment for the school: For the first time the men's and women's programs reached the league's final four during the same season.
"It's exciting for the university, and it just so happens to be in the city of Norfolk, so I think it's great for the community," NSU coach Debra Clark said.
