BALTIMORE (Interstat) — A surging Norfolk State looks to continue its push in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference when it visits struggling Morgan State in a women’s basketball matchup on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, at Hill Field House. The Spartans (14-12 overall) enter on a four-game winning streak, including a dominant 93-52 victory over South Carolina State last Saturday. Their recent success contrasts sharply with the Bears’ (4-23) season, as Morgan State has lost four of its last five. Norfolk State’s defense has been the catalyst, holding opponents to an average of 48.3 points during the win streak. A key figure has been forward Carmen Kweti, who is coming off a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in just 18 minutes against South Carolina State. Over her last five games, Kweti has averaged 7.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks, providing a major interior presence. Morgan State will counter with guard Jael Butler, its most consistent scoring threat. Butler is averaging 13.8 points over her last five contests, including a 16-point performance in the loss to Delaware State. She will need support from teammates like Kailyn Nash to keep pace with a balanced Norfolk State attack that saw three players score in double figures in the last meeting. That encounter, a 78-52 road win for Norfolk State on Jan. 22, underscores the challenge for the Bears. Morgan State has found victories scarce, with its only win since Jan. 8 being a 73-47 rout of South Carolina State on Feb. 16. The game is critical for Norfolk State to maintain momentum before visiting Coppin State on Saturday. Morgan State, seeking to salvage its season at home, will host Howard next. Tipoff is set for Thursday night in Baltimore.
