The Cleveland State Women's Basketball team earned a big win over red hot Walters State on Wednesday evening, defeating the Lady Senators 75-74.
Cleveland State trailed 60-52 entering the fourth quarter and battled back to take a 73-72 lead with under 30 seconds left in the game on a Nicky Jones layup. Walters State scored again with less than 10 seconds in the contest, but Michaela Bennefield made two clutch free throws to give the Lady Cougars the lead again for good.
Bennefield led the team in both points, rebounds and assists, recording a double-double with 19, 14, and 5 respectively. Asjah Harrell scored 17 points of her own with four assists and three steals while Ansley Bice also reached double-digits in points with 10 points of her own.
