Box Score BALTIMORE, Md. – Rae Corbo scored a game-high 25 points and Kayla Roberts added 19 points and nine rebounds to propel Norfolk State over Morgan State, 64-56, on Saturday afternoon at Hill Field House.
 
The win moves the Spartans to 9-14 overall, 8-4 in the MEAC and finishes off their season sweep of MSU (9-15, 6-5).
 
NSU's recent formula for success paid off again Saturday, with Corbo and Roberts leading the way offensively and the Spartans using a strong effort on the boards and on defense to secure the win. The Spartans outrebounded MSU 47-28 and held the Lady Bears to 35 percent shooting.
 
NSU never trailed. The Spartans forced seven turnovers and MSU missed eight of its first 10 shots while NSU sprinted out to a 19-5 lead midway through the first half. Roberts scored 10 of NSU's first 19 points and had 14 altogether in the first half.
 
The Spartans led 23-8 with eight minutes left in the first half, but the Lady Bears clawed their way back into it. NSU went cold late in the half, as a Corbo 3-pointer with 5:03 left in the half proved to be the Spartans' last field goal of the stanza. A Tracey Carrington 3-pointer and an inside basket by Lexus Spears brought MSU within 28-22 going into the half.
 
A Carrington layup with 17:55 left cut Morgan State's deficit to 29-27. But that would be as close as the Lady Bears would get as Corbo fueled the Spartans in the second half. She and Roberts both hit 3-pointers in a 10-0 NSU run immediately after Carrington's field goal, pushing NSU's advantage back to 12.
 
MSU couldn't get closer than six after that point, on Tykyrah Williams' 3-pointer that made it 56-50 with 3:18 left. Corbo helped bring the victory home for NSU, hitting all four of her free throws and scoring a layup late to clinch the win. Corbo scored 19 of her 25 points in the second half.
 
Corbo and Roberts combined to shoot 7-of-11 from 3-point range. NSU shot 37.7 percent from the floor and 77 percent (17-of-22) from the free-throw line.
 
In addition to Roberts' nine rebounds, Amber Brown grabbed eight and Koryn Lawrence added seven. Jazamine Gray handed out a team-high five assists and Lawrence had four.
 
Carrington, the Lady Bears' leading scorer, had 18 points but shot just 6-of-22. Braennan Farrar added 14 points.
 
The Spartans are off for a week before traveling back to Baltimore to face Coppin State next Saturday at 2 p.m.
