Chowan survives upset bid

Chowan figured to keep the North’s streak alive, and it did, but not nearly as cleanly as it would like. A scrappy St. Aug team fought to the end but fell 75-70 to Chowan.

“We knew this was not going to be a blow out,” Chowan head coach LaToya Jones said. “We knew we were going to be in a fight. We’ve been in a fight all season and this was no different for us and I’m happy that we were able to persevere just like we have before.”

Winston pulls away

WSSU came out strong early and never looked back, beating Elizabeth City State 87-67 in the opening round.

The Lady Rams jumped out to a 21-11 lead in the first quarter to set the pace. Candace Tate had 24 points and 12 rebounds in the win.

WSSU will take on Virginia State, the second ranked team in the North, on Thursday in the Spectrum Center.
