Norfolk State University Wins the
2024 MEAC Women's Basketball Championships
Abigail Weiss
Norfolk, VA-- Norfolk State is crowned the 2023-24
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Women's Basketball
Champions.
After several lead exchanges in the fourth quarter, the
Spartans pulled away in the final seconds for a final
score of 51-46.
Kierra Wheeler scored a game-high 20 points and grabbed
15 rebounds while Diamond Johnson scored all 12 of her
points in the second half to lead Norfolk State
University to a 51-46 win over Howard University in the
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament championship
for the second season in a row. As a result, the
Spartans advance to the NCAA Tournament for the second
straight season with an automatic bid. Pairings will be
announced on Sunday.
“Last year when we went, there is a special feeling that
you get when you see that NCAA March Madness banner as
you approach the arena,” explains Vickers. “I think we
were happy to be there last year. But we now feel that
if we rebound the basketball, play defense make some of
those shots, we can play with anybody.”
Norfolk State jumped out early but kept within a single
digit margin with the Bison throughout the game. Each
team traded leads, parlaying some tough defense and
strong rebounding to make it a close contest.
The Spartans got the edge 11-6 at the end of the first
quarter before Howard countered with a 12-9 run to cut
the deficit to 20-18 at intermission.
“They play a matchup zone like no one we have played,”
acknowledged NSU head coach Larry Vickers of his
opponent. “You could see its impact where we were
tentative at times and it resulted in missed layups.”
Howard continued to stymie the Spartans and put together
an 18-13 run in the third quarter to take a 36-33 lead
going into the final stanza.
That is when Wheeler and Johnson took over. Wheeler
connected on 9 of 21 from the floor, scored her team’s
first nine points. But the Bison refused to let up as
Kaiya Creek nailed back-to back three pointers to tie
the game at 44 all. The lead exchanged hands and Howard
took a 47-46 lead on a Vanessa Blake put back with 1:28
remaining.
Johnson connected on one of two free throws and from
there the Spartans defense and some deft free throw
shooting by Da’Brya Clark, who knocked down three of
four free throws to close out the scoring and secure the
win.
“We pride ourselves on our defense and were able to make
stops down the stretch,” noted Vickers, the MEAC Coach
of the Year and Tournament Outstanding Coach.
This years championship game marked the fourth time that
the two have met in the tournament finals, and is a
carbon copy of last year's championship match-up.
“I am disappointed for our players,” lamented Howard
head coach Ty Grace, in the post-game press conference.
“We played hard and did the things that we planned to
do. We just came up a little short. Norfolk State is a
good basketball team. I am proud of this team.”
Graduate guard Iyanna Warren led the Bison with a
team-high 19 points while Creek added eight points and
six rebounds.
The following is the All-Tournament team:
Kierra Wheeler, Norfolk State
Iyanna Warren, Howard University
Laila Lawrence, Coppin State
Kaiya Creek, Howard University
Diamond Johnson was named Most Outstanding Performer in
the tournament, while her head coach Larry Vickers
earned Tournament Most Outstanding Performer.

Howard University Wins 2024
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Men's Basketball
Championship Abigail Weiss
NORFOLK, VA - The Bison of Howard University are the
2024 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Men's
Basketball Champion after defeating the Hornets of
Delaware State University in a nailbiter of a finale
with a final score of 70-67.
The Bison claimed their second championship title in the
last three seasons and clinch the MEAC's automatic bid
to the NCAA Championship Tournament. Howard will learn
their future opponent tomorrow, Sunday, March 17, on
selection Sunday when the NCAA releases the bracket live
on CBS at 6:00 P.M. EST.
Jordan Hairston had 18 points to lift Howard to a 70-67
win over a scabby Delaware State team Saturday to win
its second consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference
(MEAC) title and earn a return trip to the NCAA
Basketball Champion against an opponent to be
determined.
The NCAA Selection Show will be conducted Sunday at 6
p.m. on CBS.
The Bison, the tourney’s fourth seed, also got 16 points
each from Seth Towns and Bryce Harris, and 15 from
Marcus Dockery in the win. Howard improved to 18-16 on
the year.
Towns also pulled down eight boards to tie for game
rebounding honors in the win, while Harris added seven
boards and Isiah Warfield six in the win.
The Hornets, who had played the role of “giant-killer”
with wins over third-seeded South Carolina State and
North Carolina Central, the second seed, was led by
Jevin Muniz with 24 points and Martaz Robinson with 16,
along with eight rebounds and three assists in the loss.
The Hornets ended their season at 15-18.
Delaware State was in the MEAC finals for the first time
since 2015 and was seeking its first tournament title
since the 2005 campaign. Howard will be making its
second straight appearance in the “Big Dance.” The Bison
lost to Kansas last season.
Howard took an early 19-9 lead in the game with 13:54 on
the first-half clock and took a 40-34 lead at the half.
The Hornets, who had come from behind in their earlier
wins in the quarterfinals and semifinals, made another
comeback and seized a 42-40 edge with just under 17
minutes left, before Harris, who had been limited to
just four free throws in the opening half, got his first
field goal of the game with 16:22 on the clock to give
his team a 44-42 cushion.
The Bison increased their lead to 47-42 but Muniz led a
Hornet charge that gave his team a 50-49 edge with 13:10
showing. Delaware State grabbed a 55-49 lead with a 5-0
spree with 10:50 remaining but the seesaw battle
continued and was deadlocked at 56-all after Harris made
one of two from the line for Howard with 7:26 to play.
Following three ties, the last at 60-60 with 4:39 on the
clock, Delaware State went over four minutes without a
point as Howard took a 66-60 lead, one it would not
relinquish. Delaware State could only get to within two,
68-66, the rest of the way.
Howard’s Blakeney praised the play of Coach Stan
Waterman’s Hornet squad and the fight the underdogs
brought to the contest, and lauded the play of his team,
especially Harris down the stretch.
“First of all, I’d like to give kudos to Coach Stan
Waterman and his team,” Blakeney said. “In all of my
years of coaching and being around basketball, I have
not seen a season like this. We used 13 different
lineups due to injuries and COVID.
“We really shot the 3-point basket well in the first
half, but they made adjustments at the half,” he
continued. “This allowed Bryce more room inside and that
proved to be very effective for us down the stretch.”
Waterman praised his team’s effort and noted the
experience of Howard, which he said was key in the
outcome of the contest.
“A huge factor was the experience of Howard,” Waterman
said. “They have been here before. My hats off to Coach
Blakeney and his team and we wish them well in the NCAA
playoffs.”
