NORFOLK, Va. – Senior Mikayla Sayle scored 16 points with seven rebounds as third-seeded Hampton eliminated sixth-seeded Morgan State 66-57 in the 2018 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference quarterfinals at the Norfolk Scope on Thursday.

The second half saw each team make runs as Hampton regained a 10-point lead on a pair of Ashley Bates free throws with 5:14 left for a 44-34 lead. Morgan trimmed the lead to 53-51 with 4:05 left in the game as Farrar hit a free throw.

Hampton responded with a 3-point play by Bates, a Sayle layup from a Bates feed and a Sayle layup off a pass by Allina Starr to take the lead back to 60-51 with 1:17 left.

Joining Sayle in double figures was Bates with 14 points, five rebounds and three assists.  Monnazjea Finney-Smith had 13 points and seven rebounds.   Hampton finished the game hitting 22-of-51 from the floor (43.1%) and 17-of-26 from the foul line (65.4%).
