LSU women's basketball team, the reigning national champion, played a sold-out game against Coppin State, marking the first time an HBCU hosted a defending NCAA women's D1 championship team. The game had a significant financial impact for the Coppin program. Angel Reese, a Baltimore native, returned home for the game, which was a special night for the city. The final score was LSU 80, Coppin State 48, with the Tigers extending their winning streak to 12 games.

Was blessed to document Angel Reese's homecoming as well as shine a light on Coppin State. It was an event & a lot of fun. The festive atmosphere was a combination cookout, block party, and Beyonce concert. Feel free to read my story. https://t.co/uCHnU3uxtF
West Baltimore was booming on Wednesday. It’s not an everyday occurrence where you get to see a national champion play at Coppin State. It was a homecoming for Angel Reese — who’s presence felt bigger than basketball. My latest for @PressBoxOnline. https://t.co/3FfPiMwdbV
