Lady Rattlers fall
The Lady Rattlers basketball team continued their downward spiral by dropping a 59-47 MEAC decision to visiting Morgan State at the Al Lawson Center Saturday afternoon.
Saturday's setback was the ninth in a row for FAMU (2-12 overall, 0-3 MEAC), which jumped out to a 20-11 lead late in the first period, before the Bears (6-10, 2-1 MEAC) closed to within five, 20-15 at the end of the period.
The Lady Rattlers have been plagued by cold shooting and untimely scoring droughts, fell victim to that bugaboo again Saturday, scoring just four points in the second stanza on 11 percent (1-of-9) shooting, while Morgan took the lead with a 14-point surge, taking a 29-24 halftime edge.
The Bears came out of the locker room to shoot 58.3 percent (7-of-12), splashing 3-of-4 shots from distance, to outpace the Rattlers, 19-9, extending their advantage to 48-33.
In the final period, FAMU edged out Morgan State, 14-11, closing from a 20-plus point deficit to 10, 57-47 with two minutes left, but they could not get any closer.
The Lady Rattlers only victories this season came against Trinity Baptist College and Johnson University.
