Fight Almost Breaks Out in Heated Moment as Norfolk State Qualify for March Madness Walking Over Howard

The instances of heated altercations on a women’s college basketball court have become a major highlight in this year’s conference championships game. After the viral physical brawl in the SEC Finals, another such incident transpired last night at the Norfolk Scope Arena. While the enticing game featuring the Norfolk State Spartans and the Howard Bison managed to amaze the fans, an on-court scrimmage provided a further thrill for those in attendance.

A neck-to-neck contest saw the Spartans leading Howard at 25-21 midway through the third quarter. At this time, a scoring attempt from Howard’s No.5 Marissa Steel got deflected off the rim which she immediately recollected. Moreover, she had a tussle with Norfolk’s junior guard Niya Fileds who eventually got hold of the ball. Following this, she shoved the Spartan’s No.2 which compelled Da’Brya Clark to have a verbal exchange with her.

Nonetheless, this heated moment was subverted as players from both sides along with officials pulled the two away from each other’s faces. After a while, a common foul was called on Marissa Steel by the referees. In addition to this, there was also a double technical on Steel as well as on Da’Brya Clark.

Back-to-back glory for the Norfolk State Spartans

A top-of-the-table clash ended as Norfolk State handed the No.2 Howard a heartbreaking 51-46 defeat. With their third MEAC title, they have become the first team since 2014 to win the conference tournament for two years in a row. A back-and-forth battle ended in favor of the Spartans courtesy of an impactful performance from their No.22, Kierra Wheeler.

The junior forward registered a staggering double-double consisting of 20 points and 15 rebounds. Furthermore, there was also an inspired second-half performance from point guard Diamond Johnson who finished her night with 12 points. Also, Johnson was named the MEAC Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

Indeed, it was an entertaining night for the fans. Not only did they witness an electrifying contest, but the little chit-chat fired up some emotions among spectators. It will be exciting to witness these two teams lock horns again in the upcoming March Madness. Did you enjoy the thrill of this game? Tell us in the comments section.
