Women's Basketball #3 in CAA

The Lady Dukes (21-8, 14-4) finished off the regular season last night with a 74-65 win at UNCW. Sophomore Dawn Evans seems to be recovering from her ankle sprain just fine as she went 9-20, including 4-8 from behind the arc, and hit all four of her free throws for a game high 26 points (17 in the second half). Sophomore Jalissa Taylor earned herself a double-double, scoring 13 points and grabbing 11 off the boards. She also had 3 blocks and only 2 personal fouls (this will be a huge stat to watch during the tournament because, without Lauren Jiminez, we need her out of foul trouble). Redshirt junior Sarah Williams turned in 11 points (4-8, 1-1 FT) and 5 rebounds. Sophomore Courtney Hamner and freshman Kiara Francisco both added 9 points. While senior Kisha Stokes only had 4 points, she had 7 rebounds and also got two crucial steals at the start of the second half. With this win JMU will be the #3 seed going into the CAA tournament at the Convo next weekend. The games that JMU is playing in or could play in are bolded.
