Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Lady Bulldogs Fall in Southeast Missouri Exhibition

Cape Girardeau, Mo - 11/6/2003 - The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University Lady Bulldogs stepped out of NAIA play for a exhibition against NCAA Div. I Southeast Missouri State University. Southeast Missouri topped the Lady Bulldogs 84-66.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ led 2-1 in the game on a lay-up by Jessica Henson following a steal. That was the only lead for Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. Southeast Missouri State used the outside shot and athletic ability to build a 24-point lead in the first half. Southeast led 45-21 at the break an shot 50% from the field. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ had 13 first half turnovers.

In the second half, Southest Missouri jumped out to a 30 point lead on back-to-back three pointers. And then six minutes into the second half, the Lady Bulldogs trailed by 32. However, from that point on, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ started to create shots and shots started falling. Southeast Missouri continued to press as they had done the entire game. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's sophomore guard, LaTorya Fuller, began to take over and handle the press. She tallied a game high 22 points. From the 14 minute mark in the second half, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ outscored Southeast Missouri 37-23 to cut the final deficit to 18 points, 84-66. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's late rally impressed many that watched, as the Lady Bulldogs were now able to score on a defense that had them stopped for much of the game.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's head coach Mark Campbell said, "I think we were intimidated the first half." He adds, "We came out in the second half and dictated tempo and really played well." Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ was able to leave the Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri with a great deal of confidence about their ability to score on anybody. Coach Campbell also talked about the fact that Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ would not play a more athletic team than Southeast during this season.

In the game, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ was led by Fuller with 22 points. Jessica Henson added 14, including 3-of-7 from three point land, while Molly York scored nine. For Southeast Missouri, Sami Jo Cotton scored 16 points, including 4-0f-5 from behind the arc. Chandra Brown tallied a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Brown also tallied five blocks.
