Final Stats

Johnson C. Smith University (13-7, 9-3 CIAA) cruised to a 61-39 victory over the visiting Lady Blue Bears of Livingstone College (5-15, 4-9 CIAA). The win helps JCSU to remain undefeated in Brayboy Gymnasium this season.

JCSU jumped out to a 15-7 advantage mid-way through the first half and never looked back. Livingstone cut the lead to single digits twice early in the second half but that would be as close as the Lady Blue Bears would get.
