Halftime of the opening game of the regional tournament for the Lady Statesmen started off great. When I say great, I mean great defense and enough offense to take a 9-1 lead.

Then both teams started make baskets. Valdosta State, who basically was non-existent to start the game, decided to make an impact and give Delta State a run for its money.

If it not for a late score by the Lady Statesmen, Valdosta goes into the half with the lead.

The second half should be interesting.

DSU needs to keep up the outstanding defensive play they had in the first half if they want a chance at claiming the victory.
