HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison could not find an answer to Northeastern's hot shooting from behind the arc and suffered a 77-69 setback in Colonial Athletic Association women's basketball action in the Atlantic Union Bank Center on Tuesday afternoon.
The Huskies (3-6, 2-4 CAA) lit it up from deep, sinking 50 percent (11-of-22) of their attempts to earn their first win against the Dukes (7-5, 3-2 CAA) in Harrisonburg.
Freshman Peyton McDaniel led the way for JMU with 20 points on 46.7 percent (7-of-15) shooting from the field to go along with four rebounds, one steal and one block. Sophomore Kiki Jefferson followed behind with 14 points, seven rebounds, a game-high tying four assists and two steals.
Freshman Jamia Hazell added 10 points, her seventh double-digit outing of the season with a rebound and an assist. Stella Clark led the way for Northeastern with a game-high 28 points, five rebounds and four assists.
How It Happened
The Dukes were feeling it in the first quarter, knocking down four three-pointers while limiting the Huskies to 25 percent (3-of-12) from the field to take a nice 17-10 lead after 10 minutes. Northeastern completely flipped the switch in the second, posting 21 points in the quarter to take a tight 31-29 lead into break.
Both teams battled back-and-forth in the third frame with the Huskies holding on to a tight 54-48 lead after 30 minutes of action. In the fourth, JMU stuck with Northeastern for the most part and would eventually get within three (61-64, 5:13) but the Huskies matched JMU's scoring throughout the rest of the game to earn the win and split the season series.
Quick Hits
- Junior Jaylin Carodine posted seven points, including a perfect 3-of-3 from the charity stripe, a game-high nine rebounds, two assists and one steal, all of which are season highs
- Sophomore Rayne Tucker tied her career high by dropping three assists
Up Next
JMU heads to the Lowcountry to face College of Charleston on Saturday and Sunday. Tip for both games is set for 1 p.m. with the games broadcast live on FloSports.
