FAMU Rattlers playing with confidence after win over Clemson

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- It took a few games, but Florida A&M’s women’s basketball team is playing with confidence.

The team has won three of its last four games after losing three straight earlier in the season. The Rattlers, now 6-7, are playing with some more swagger after a 77-68 road win over Clemson (4-9) on Tuesday to close out their out-of-conference schedule.

Coach LeDawn Gibson said the victory gave the team a huge boost of confidence. The Rattlers will try to follow up their success with a win over MEAC foe Savannah State Friday at the Lawson Center.

“Just watching the team practice, you can tell it gave them a boost of confidence,” Gibson said. “It helped us mentally and morally. That confidence is helping us get to where we need to be. You can really tell the game gave them a boost.”
