HUNTINGTON — Marshall’s women’s basketball team had been perfect at home this season, a perfect 8-0 on the season. But Middle Tennessee came to Huntington leading the all-time series with the Herd, 5-0. Something had to give and by the end of the game, the Herd was the team who was behind the eight-ball with a loss as the Blue Raiders posted the 850th win in the history of the program.
