The Thundering Herd Women’s Basketball team won its last game of the season against JMU on the road. Marshall beat the top-placed team in the Sun Belt Conference Standings 71-54.
“We’ve been pretty tough and consistent, but not tough enough to win these,” Coach Tony Kemper said in his opening statement post-game. Kemper credited his team’s defense for the win, saying, “I thought we went after it physically.”
The Herd had a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, unlike the previous games, which came down to one possession.
Junior guard Abby Beeman led the way for the Herd with 20 points and a three-pointer from near half-court.
