JONESBORO In the first game of the new month, Drew gets their first road win on the season with the 41-26 victory over Elite Scholars Academy.
Lady Titans' senior Stephanie Rice led all scores with 15 points, scoring five in the second quarter and six in the third. She did her damage in the inside with floaters or crashing the boards for second chance points.
Drew kept the lead throughout the game and their defense was the reason why. Their 1-2-2 zone trapped ball handlers and forced turnovers, which Drew capitalized on the other side of the court.
Following Rice's last quarter made mid-range shot, the Lady Titans led 31-13.
Elite Scholars started the fourth with a quick 5-0 run which force Drew into a timeout. Lady Knights senior Akira Brathwaite scored nine of her 11 points in the period, including a 3 from the parking lot.
But senior Eauriana Fountain (12 points) of the Lady Titans closed out the game, scoring half of her points in period with her aggressive takes to the rim.
Drew improves to 4-2 while Elite Scholars fall to 0-4.
