DETROIT MERCY WOMAN'S TEAM LOSES AT MICHIGAN STATE 80-41

Junior Ellisha Crosby was in double figures again with 13 points and the Titans 80-41 setback to No. 21/19 Michigan State at the Breslin Center.

Crosby was 5-of-12 from the field with two assists as she was pressed into an emergency point guard role due to injuries. Senior Senee Shearer tallied nine points and three rebounds, while senior Megan Hatter finished with five points and six rebounds.

The Titans (1-4) might have been down a few players, but the fight was there for the red, shite and blue as UDM trailed by just two, 7-5, four minutes into the game. Crosby was able to get the first basket by driving to the rim and after a free throw from Shearer, Galloway was able to lay one in on the offensive end.

Shearer and Crosby – who had nine points in the first half - were able to knock down a pair of 3-pointers with the latter knotting the score at 11-all. UDM continued to play turning it over just twice in the first 13 minutes, but the Spartans (3-1) went on a 29-6 run to open a 40-17 advantage with three minutes left in the half.
