B-CU Women's Basketball Wins 2019 MEAC Women's Basketball Tourney

Angel Golden dropped 18 points and Chasimmie Brown grabbed 16 rebounds as No. 3 Bethune-Cookman used a strong second half to overtake Norfolk State 57-45 to claim the 2019 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) women's basketball championship Saturday at the Scope Arena.

The Wildcats (21-10) won their second ever MEAC tournament title and claim the MEAC's automatic NCAA Tournament bid. The NCAA women's field will be unveiled Monday on ESPN at 7 p.m. EST. B-CU last won the title in 1984.

"We had talked before we left campus that we had won every regular-season award there was to win," Vanessa Blair-Lewis, the tournament's Outstanding Coach, said. "Every type of trophy but this one. We didn't care about all those awards or who they would go to this year. Keep all of them. We just wanted [the championship trophy]." 

Join the champions for a Celebration and Selection Show Watch Party with giveaways and prizes today from 6 – 9 p.m. at the Michael and Libby Johnson Center for Civic Engagement (CCE). Click here to read more.
