CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Interstat) — The Queens Royals delivered a stifling defensive performance in a 60-35 victory over the South Carolina Upstate Spartans in a nonconference women’s basketball game Saturday at Levine Center.

Queens held the Spartans to 26.8% shooting from the floor and a season-low point total. The Royals scored 13 points off 14 Spartans turnovers and never trailed, leading 30-15 at halftime after holding South Carolina Upstate to just four first-quarter points.

Ana Barreto led Queens with 14 points and five assists. Dayuna Colvin added 12 points and Jermany Mapp scored 13. Gwen Jenkins was the lone Spartan in double figures with 10 points.

Queens improved to 6-5. South Carolina Upstate fell to 5-9.
