Women's Basketball Set to Host Baltimore Rival Morgan State on Sunday

The UMBC Womne's Basketball returns to The Peake for the first time in 11 days when it hosts local rival Morgan State on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Last time out, Jordon Lewis and Jaliena Sanchez each scored 13 points, but a furious rally fell short as UMBC fell at Patriot League preseason favorite Loyola Maryland, 54-46, on Sunday night. 

The Retrievers cut a 15 point deficit down to two, and it was within three midway through the fourth, but the Greyhounds held on.

The game was a homecoming for UMBC head coach Candice Hill, a Loyola alum, who was honored before the game.

Morgan State is 3-2 on the season, but its lone D1 win came against Towson on Thursday. Jael Butler and Ja'la Bannerman each scored a game-high 13 points and Michaela Bogans added 10, as the host Lady Bears won 64-63 after Towson missed a layup at the buzzer.

Both teams shot 50 percent from the line as Morgan State connected on 12-of-24 from the charity stripe and Towson shot 15-of-30 at the line.

If fans can't make the game, they can tune in on ESPN+ or follow along with live stats or at @UMBCwbb on X.
