PENSACOLA, Fla. (WHSV) - James Madison’s men’s basketball team saw its season come to a close at the hands of Troy. The Trojans defeated the Dukes 79-60 in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament semifinals.

In James Madison’s season opener against No. 2 North Carolina, the Tar Heels spread out the Dukes’ offense. The Terps ran a similar defense and produced near-identical results. They consistently used double teams to force the ball out of Epke’s stick and prevent her from getting to her cuts and dodges.

Saturday’s contest was a near duplicate of that game. Seven Terps scored in a commanding 11-5 win over No. 12 James Madison at Sentara Park. James Madison’s goaltending had struggled in prior matchups. The Dukes (4-2) started the season with junior Caitlin Boden — who started the year ranked No. 18 in all-time saves and save percentage.

The James Madison Dukes (20-10, 13-4 Sun Belt) will attempt to continue a five-game win streak when they hit the road to take on the Texas State Bobcats (15-15, 8-9 Sun Belt) on Friday,
