 Web Posted 11/9/09

The Wilberforce Lady Bulldogs Women’s Basketball Team defeated Taylor University 87-74 in their home opener on Saturday, November, 7. This was also Wilberforce’s Homecoming Celebration.

The Taylor University women's basketball team was ranked 23rd according to the NAIA Division II Coaches' Top 25 Preseason Poll released by the association October 26th, 2009.

Fast Break points and 42% from beyond the arc helped the Lady Bulldogs come back from a 10-point deficit in the first half.

A total team effort on both ends of the floor helped to offset the size disadvantage in the paint. Freshman guard/forward Keeahna Fontes led all scorers with 32 points. Sophomore guard Deidra Brown, senior guard Dai’Tiara Brown, and junior guard Andrecia Smith chipped in 15, 14, and 13 points respectively to round out the win.

The Lady Bulldogs are 1-1 and travel to the University of Rio Grande November 10 to play the Lady Red Storm.

The Wilberforce Men's Basketball team were victorious over Allen College 83-81 on Saturday. Leading the Bulldogs was Chris Olafioye with 20 points. Brian Butler, Tim Giles, Tyjaun Morgan and Terrance Morgan contributed to the victory with 17, 12, 12 and 10 points respectively.

The next game will be Saturday November 14 in the Alumni Multiplex. Thanks to all who came out to support our teams!
