KSU Thorobreds pull away from Central State

Frankfort, KY - Entering Monday on a 3-game winning streak, Central State's attempt at winning 4 straight contests was abruptly halted in a 102-84 road loss to rival Kentucky State.
Central State never led and fell to 6-12 overall. Winning their third straight game, the Thorobreds improved to 11-4 on the season.

The KSU shooters converted from the opening tip. Shaia Horton went 3 of 4 from beyond the arc for 15 first half points. Forward Shaquanda Wiggins hit 7 of 8 shot attempts for 14 in the first as the Thorobreds led 52-41 at half.

One of the lone bright spots for CSU was guard Iniquia Snell's 13 points in the first stanza, eclipsing 1500 for her collegiate career on two made free throws with 22.1 seconds before halftime.

After extending their lead to 60-45 in the first 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the second half, KSU went on a 17-3 run to take a commanding 78-50 lead. CSU had no answer for KSU's 54.3% conversion rate from the field. The Thorobreds also dominated from the perimeter, going 8 for 18 compared to CSU's 2 of 13 performance. Kentucky State cruised to the 18 point win and swept the season series between the two schools.

Horton led all scorers with 28 points. Wiggins finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Snell led the Lady Marauder scoring with 23 points.

Central State returns to G-MAC competition on Saturday when they travel to conference leading Cedarville. The Yellow Jackets narrowly escaped Wilberforce with a 75-70 overtime win on January 3rd.
