Reid Scores Season-High 22 Points, Lady Panthers fall to Kentucky State 80-78

Clark Atlanta drops to 2-5 in conference play

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- DeAsia Reid posted a season-high and game-high 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Clark Atlanta Lady Panthers (5-7, 2-5 SIAC) fell to the Kentucky State Thorobreds 80-78 on Saturday afternoon inside the Wiliam Exum Center. Despite the loss, Reid's double-double marks the second-straight game a Lady Panther logged a double-double. 

Clark Atlanta landed four players in double-digit scoring led by Reid with 22, Trinity Jones with 14, Atreonia Garner with 13, and Corianna Evans with 12 on the day. 

Clark Atlanta's leading scorer Corriana Evans got the Lady Panthers started early in Saturday's contest, scoring four of CAU's first seven points. The Lady Panthers posted their best shooting quarter of the day (66.7%), giving them a 24-17 advantage heading into the second frame. 

Reid was able to score Clark Atlanta's final four points of the first half to head into the intermission with a narrow two-point margin over Kentucky State (40-38). 

CAU held the scoring edge in the third frame by outsourcing KSU 20-18 to head into the fourth quarter with a 60-56 advantage.

The fourth quarter saw five lead changes as each team traded scores evenly until the score was knotted at 78 apiece with 37 seconds left to play. Ultimately, a go-ahead layup from KSU's Mondrea Williams with 12 seconds left secured the Thorobreds 80-78 win on their home floor. 

Despite the loss, Clark Altanta won the paint-scoring battle 52-44 while also outshooting Kentucky State from the floor with 50.8% shooting to the Thorobreds 47.8%.
