NORFOLK, Va., – No. 13 Savannah State held on to upset No. 4 Norfolk State in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) tournament first round inside the Norfolk Scope Arena.

After halftime, Savannah State pushed its lead to seven, 36-29, but the Spartans gradually chipped away at the deficit.

Savannah State’s Kaylee Allen made a pair of freebies and cut the deficit to five after one, 21-16.

Norfolk State’s Kayla Roberts made two buckets and extended the Spartans lead to nine, 25-16, but Savannah State answered with a 9-0 spurt and tied the contest with 6:09 left before intermission, 25-25.

After another layup from Roberts, Savannah State outscored the Spartans, 7-4, and took a 32-29 halftime lead.
