Howard center Tamaya Daniels and guard Zykia Brown each scored 17 points and guard/forward Morgan Neal added 13 as the Bison cruised to an easy 69-49 win over Hampton University in a MEAC game at Burr Gymnasium on Thurs., March 5. It was Senior Night for the Lady Bison and the regular season finale for both teams before the MEAC Tournament, which began on Tues., March 10 at the Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C.

“We talked about playing for the seniors. The team rallied around them. Tamaya was powerful on the inside and Morgan crashed the boards and hit some big shots. We want to begin a new legacy of playing hard. We want folks to know that this is the new HU,” said Howard first year head coach Niki Reid Geckeler. Daniels hit on 8-of-11 from the field, Neal connected on 5-of-9 and Daniels hit the first three pointer of her career.
