Marshall Women’s Basketball Loses to JMU in SBC Tournament

The Thundering Herd Women’s Basketball team lost to James Madison in its second Sun Belt Conference tournament game 62-43.

The last game of the Herd’s regular season ended with a win against the top-seeded James Madison team, but this game favored the Dukes.

Head Coach Tony Kemper said, “You have to credit James Madison a lot. I thought their early ability to make shots panicked us.”

James Madison made four of its five attempted three-pointers in the first quarter and outscored Marshall 24-16.

The Dukes continued to stay ahead until the end of the contest shooting 42 percent from outside the arc.
