BALTIMORE, Md. (Feb. 11, 2012)-Chelsea Sanders scored a game-high 23 points and Adobi Agbasi added a double-double with a 16 points and a game-high 17 rebounds to lead visiting Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) to a 75-57 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) win over Morgan State on Saturday afternoon at Hill Field House.

Agbasi also added a game-high seven blocked shots, falling one shy of the career-high eight she set against Norfolk State on Monday. Porsha Barr came off the bench to add 11 points, while Karona Roach finished with 10 points, as the visiting Lady Hawks picked up their first win at Hill Field House since Dec. 30, 2008 and improved to 37-30 all-time against Morgan State.

UMES (9-13, 6-4 MEAC) broke open a 33-31 game at halftime, by using a 26-6 run over a course of 10 minutes and 38 second to begin the second half, increasing the Lady Hawks lead to 59-39.

Back-to-back three-pointers from Moneshia Davis cut the deficit to 65-53 with 6:16 to play, but the 12 points would be as close as the Lady Bears would get. UMES would close out the contest on a 10-5 run for the game's final score.
