BALTIMORE – Coppin State's women's basketball team outscored Georgetown in the second half but was unable to overcome a large first quarter deficit in a 50-35 loss to the Hoyas in front of 2,800 fans at PEC Arena on Wednesday morning. The Eagles fall to 1-3 on the season while Georgetown improves to 2-1.

  • Colleen Bucknor led all players with ten rebounds along with her three points and a block.
  • Coppin made just 1-of-17 shots in the first quarter as Georgetown led, 17-3 after the first. The Eagles shot much better the rest of the way and trailed, 29-11 at the half.

How it Happened
  • Georgetown scored the first five points of the game before a layup by Salley cut the deficit to 5-2 at the 7:46 mark.
  • The Hoyas closed the period on a 12-0 run and Coppin got back on the board with a layup by Bucknor with 6:46 remaining in the second. Bucknor hit a free throw, starting an 8-2 Eagles run which got Coppin to within, 22-11.
  • Coppin went into the half trailing, 29-11 and pulled to within 12 points in the third before the Hoyas extended their lead once again.
  • Salley opened the fourth with a pair of buckets and Reos buried a three from the wing with just under six minutes left, to pull CSU within ten.
