Howard at Elon

ELON, N.C. (Interstat) — The undefeated Howard Lady Bison will put their perfect record on the line when they visit the Elon Phoenix in a non-conference women’s basketball game Saturday at Schar Center.

Howard (3-0) is coming off a tight 62-60 road victory over George Washington on Tuesday. Nile Miller scored 11 points and Zennia Thomas added 15 in the win. The Lady Bison’s early success also includes an 89-53 rout of Florida A&M and a 68-56 win at Providence.

Elon (2-1) looks to build momentum after a dominant 93-48 home win against Presbyterian on Monday. In that contest, Tamia Watkins scored 15 points, while Quinzia Fulmore and LaNae’ Corbett each added 14. The Phoenix’s lone loss was a 71-37 defeat at North Carolina.

The matchup pits Howard’s unblemished start against an Elon team that has shown it can score in bunches at home. The Lady Bison will continue a challenging road stretch with a game at VCU on Monday. Elon’s next contest is at Georgetown on Nov. 24.
