The North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies fell to the Miami Hurricanes 84-77, Thursday night at the BankUnited Center in the third round of the WNIT.
North Carolina A&T had three players of its score in double-figures in the loss, led by Jaleesa Sams' 20 points. Ta'Wuana Cook scored 16, while Amber Calvin added 13.
A pair of back-to-back defensive plays from Miami freshman Morgan Stroman sealed the victory for the Hurricanes.
Stroman stole an entry pass into the post and went coast-to-coast for the layup. She was fouled on the play and sank the free throw, pushing the Miami lead to 77-69 with 2:37 remaining.
The very next Lady Aggie possession resulted in a Crystal Murdaugh jumper that was swatted away by Stroman. After collecting the rebound, she fired a full court pass to a streaking Charmaine Clark, who finished with a layup.
The Hurricanes were able to utilize the clock from that point on and sank 5-of-6 free throws in the final minutes, for the final score.
