JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Briona Brown tossed in 27 points and grabbed eight rebounds and Jasmyn Brown added 16 points and a game-high nine boards to power Jacksonville University to a 79-47 win over visiting South Carolina State Wednesday at Swisher Gymnasium.

The Lady Bulldogs, who fell to 4-7 on the year, were led by senior Toni Grier who had 15 points, on 5-of-6 shooting from the field and a perfect 5-of-5 from the charity stripe. She was the only SC State player in double figures.

Freshman JaQuanna Murray of Orangeburg-Wilkinson, Amber Howard and Jahmia Bradley all added six points each. Grier and Jasmine Coleman led the Lady Bulldogs on the boards with five each.

"We didn't play well at all and shot the ball poorly," said Lady Bulldog head coach Doug Robertson. "But more than that, we were facing a very athletic team and I was worried that they would give us problems. And, they shot the ball extremely well."

The hot-shooting Dolphins, who improved to 7-of-7, made just under 55 percent (54.5) of their shots in the first half in doubling up SC State 42-21 at intermission. The host was particularly hot in the opening quarter, connecting on 60.9 percent of its attempts from the field in building a 26-11 lead after one. Jacksonville outscored the Lady Bulldogs 16-10 in the second period.

Jacksonville also enjoyed a big edge on the boards at the half, outrebounding SC State 20-12 in the first 20 minutes.

The Lady Bulldogs, who played without leading scorer Brittany Drumgoole, struggled from the field in the early going as they made just 34.6 percent of their tries from the field in the half, connecting on only 9-of-26 shots. Grier, who made all three of her tries from the field in the open half, led Robertson's team at the break with six points.

Jacksonville continued its dominance in the second half, outscoring SC State 22-15 in the third period and 15-11 in the final stanza.

SC State returns to action Saturday when the Lady Bulldogs host Southern Wesleyan in a 2 p.m. contest at Smith-Hammond-Middleton Memorial Center. Admission to the contest is free.
