The JMU women's basketball team will have another shot at Virginia Commonwealth. Both teams escaped with narrow victories in the Colonial Athletic Association Championship quarterfinals Friday.
William & Mary had a 26-20 lead at halftime against the Dukes, but JMU fought back to win 53-46 in the teams' third meeting of the season. JMU completed the season sweep by outrebounding the Tribe 39-22, while senior forward Tamera Young led the Dukes in scoring and rebounding with 12 and 10, respectively.
Tribe senior forward Kyra Kaylor had a game-high 16 points and led her team with seven rebounds. William & Mary got to the free throw line only six times to Madison's 16 attempts.
Young, the 2008 CAA Player of the Year, will lead the Dukes in their third meeting with VCU in the CAA Championship semifinals Saturday. JMU lost at home in overtime 61-60 on Jan. 21, and lost 62-56 on Feb. 28.
