PHILADELPHIA – Howard University women’s basketball team erased a 23-point deficit to defeat Atlantic 10 foe La Salle, 75-72, inside Tom Gola Arena.

With the victory, HU remains undefeated (2-0) while the Explorers fall to 2-3 on the season.

Howard’s big comeback began on the glass, outrebounding La Salle, 56-36, while scoring 30 second chance points. HU also shot 26 more free throws than the Explorers, 37-11.

Senior Jayla Thornton and freshmen Anzhane’ Hutton and Kaiya Creek led the comeback. Creek (14 points and 10 boards) and Hutton (20 points and 11 boards) each produced their first career double-double while Thornton netted 15 points to join the exclusive 1,000-point club.

After taking a 44-31 halftime lead, La Salle opened the second period on a 10-0 run and held its largest lead of the contest, 54-31, with eight minutes left in the third quarter.

Down, but not out, HU refused to quit as they gradually chipped away at the deficit.

Thornton and Hutton jump-started the comeback with an 8-2 spurt, capped off by the New Jersey native’s trey ball that pushed her over the 1,000-point threshold, 56-39.

In the third, La Salle made only one bucket in the final five minutes of the period, which helped Howard close the gap to five points after a pair of freebies from Thornton, 60-55.

Jordon Lewis extended the Explorers’ advantage back to seven, 62-55, but the Bison’s momentum continued with a 10-0 run, thanks to back-to-back jumpers from Creek, 65-62.

La Salle tied the contest at 65, but Hutton and Creek would be too much down the stretch, combining for 11 boards and nine points in the fourth period to propel HU, 75-72.

Second-year guard Iyanna Warren had another all-around performance with 10 points, five rebounds and four assists in the victory.

For the Explorers, Claire Jacobs led all scorers with 21 points in the loss.
