Whitney Hill led three Lady Pirates in double figures with a team-high 15 points, while fellow teammate Chinyere Ukoh added 14 points as Hampton rolled past William & Mary, 72-59 on Friday in Kaplan Arena.

The victory was Hampton’s second in a row, as the Lady Pirates moves to 2-5 on the season, William & Mary dropped to 5-4 overall.

The teams went to halftime trailing 33-32. The Lady Pirates came out in the second half with a burst of energy.  Hampton made huge strides when William & Mary’s leading scorer, Tiffany Benson, left the game with an injury with 16:20 to play in the second half.

The score was tied at 37 points with 16:05 to play, but that was turning point for the Lady Pirates, who went on a 9-0 run to take command of the game and seal the deal.

Friday marked the first time this season the Lady Pirates have scored at least 70 points in a game.
