McNeill Twins Power VUU to 16th Straight Win

Box Score Virginia Union University's Shareka McNeill scored 22 points while her twin sister Shameka McNeill scored 13 points to lead VUU to an 84-54 win over the University of the District of Columbia on Monday, January 15, in Barco-Stevens Hall in Richmond, Va.

The win was the 16th straight for the Lady Panthers, the second-longest current streak in the nation.  Only Ashland University's 54-game win streak is longer than VUU's.

The 16-game win streak is also the second-longest in VUU women's basketball history.  Only last season's 18-game win streak is longer than the current streak.

VUU's Alexis Johnson added 12 points while teammate Rachael Pecota scored 10 points in the win.

Johnson and Union's Jasmine Carter tied for high-rebounding honors with seven boards apiece.

Virginia Union's Rejoice Spivey dished off a career-high 13 assists.  Spivey's 13 assists are the fifth-highest single-game total in the nation this season.

The win lifted VUU to 16-1 this season while also placing the Lady Panthers to #2 in the Atlantic Region.

UDC fell to 2-15 on the season.

Virginia Union now faces Bowie State University at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 20, in Barco-Stevens Hall in Richmond, Va.
