Bowie State 64, VUU 62

February 15, 2019

A tip-in with 0.8 seconds left to play by Bowie State University’s Saiquan Jamison gave the Bulldogs a 64-62 win over Virginia Union University on Wednesday, February 13, at Barco-Stevens Hall in Richmond, Va.

VUU had tied the game at 62-62 on a free throw by Will Jenkins with 6.7 seconds left, but Bowie State was able to put back a missed shot to seal the win.

VUU’s Terrell Leach led all scorers with 22 points while Jenkins recorded a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

“I felt we came out a little flat, but we picked it up a little bit defensively,” said VUU Head Coach Jay Butler.  “It was a hard-fought game tonight .  Bowie State did a good job defensively and we didn’t shoot the ball well, going 18-for-56 from the field.  We shot 32%, but I thought the kids fought the entire game and gave us an opportunity to win.”

The loss dropped Virginia Union to 15-10 overall and 10-4 in the CIAA.  Bowie State is now 15-10 overall and 11-3 in CIAA play.

Virginia Union now travels to Lincoln University, Pa., to face Lincoln University of Pennsylvania at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 16.
