BALTIMORE, Md. (Feb. 22, 2012)-Coppin State's Jeanine Manley scored a game-high 18 points, including seven of the last 10 Coppin State points to lead the host Eagles past crosstown rival Morgan State in a MEAC match-up on Wednesday evening at the Physical Education Complex.
Leola Spotwood and Larrisa Carter both added 12 points and Crystal Whittington finished with 10 points, as Coppin State swept the season series over Morgan State for the first time since the 2006-07 season.
Morgan State (6-20, 3-10 MEAC) was led by Moneshia Davis, who came off the bench to score a team-high 16 points, while Tracey Carrington added 11 points and a team-high seven rebounds.
When Morgan State looks back on its loss to its crosstown rival it will have to look no further than rebounds and the desire to win. The Eagles held a 53-38 rebounding advantage over Morgan State, many of which created second chance opportunities for the host Eagles.
Spotwood finished with a game-high 11 boards and Carter added 10, as both players notched double-doubles for the evening.
Morgan State was also done in by 19 turnovers, which were turned into 22 Coppin State points and several lane violations on the Lady Bears.
