UTICA - The Hinds Bulldogs women's basketball team fell to the Meridian Community College (MCC) Lady Eagles last night at home in Utica.

The Lady Bulldogs gave the home crowd a cause to rally, however, as the score remained within one point all the way through halftime, with Meridian leading 29-28.

The Lady Bulldogs eventually took the lead early in the second half when Acacia Stewart hit a mid-range jumper to give the Bulldogs a 30-29 lead.  

However, by the end of the third quarter Meridian began to pull away with a 10 point lead (46-36).

In the fourth quarter, MCC outscored Hinds 16-12 to capture the 62-48 win.

The Lady Bulldogs now sit at 2-8 overall and 0-3 in the MACJC South. They will be back in action this Thursday (Jan. 16) as they travel to Poplarville to take on the Pearl River Community College Lady Wildcats.
