Rams take care of business against short-handed Knights

COLUMBIA, S.C. – In their second game in as many days, CIU Women's Basketball knocked off their second Appalachian Athletic Conference opponent in a row on Tuesday. The Rams took down the winless St. Andrew Knights (0-12), who dressed only six players for the contest. Although St. Andrews hung around until midway through the fourth quarter CIU (9-10) would win over the Knights 87-71.

How It Happened: 

First Half: CIU 33 SAU 24: The Rams finished the first quarter on a 6-2 run but only led 16-10 at the end of the period. CIU went on an 11-1 run in the first 3:00 minutes of the second quarter to take a 25-12 lead, but the Knights scrapped their way back, cutting the advantage to nine at halftime, 33-24. Zion Neat led the Rams in the first half with 11 points and six rebounds.

Second Half: CIU 87 SAU 71: CIU was outscored in the third quarter 30-17 by the Knights, and St. Andrews held a 54-50 lead at the end of three.
