Lady Vikings Trounce Lady Yellow Jackets
January 21, 2003
ELIZABETH CITY, NC- Shaneka Ellis scored 22 points to lead the Elizabeth
City State University Lady Vikings in a 87-45 dismantling of the Allen
University Lady Yellow Jackets Tuesday night at the RL Vaughan Center.
The victory snaps a 6-game losing steak for ECSU.
The Lady Yellow Jackets committed 23 turnovers, which resulted in 24 points
in favor of the Lady Vikings.
ECSU controlled the tempo from the start, jumping out to an early 12-2 lead
in the first half. Allen would pull within 6 (20-14) but that was the
closest they would get, as the Lady Vikings would distance themselves to
hold a 36-18 advantage at the intermission.
As Ellis scored 14 points in the first half, it would be the combination of
Angelica Dempsey and Trevia Pittman assuming the scoring load in the second
stanza. In the second half, Dempsey scored 14 of her 16 points while Pittman
added 13 of her 19. Ellis, Dempsey, and Pittman hit four 3-pointers each to
account for all of ECSU’s treys for the evening.
Lucinda Stokes led the Lady Yellow Jackets (1-16) with 17 points with
Sheritta Young chipping in with 11.
Kristal McLendon added a game-high 8 assists for the Lady Vikings.
ECSU (4-10 overall) will be at home again on Thursday, January 23 as the
will play host to the Lady Tigers of Saint Paul’s College. Tip-off time is
scheduled for 5:30pm at the RL Vaughan Center.
