CMU women host Vandy Tuesday night
CMU’s Reyna Frost had a double-double in the first half of Friday’s opener against Purdue and finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds. (Sun File Photo)Seventy five percent of the time they won.
And yet they lost.
In Friday’s 2017-18 season opener the CMU women’s basketball team outscored visiting Purdue in three of the game’s four quarters and even held a 16-point lead in the second quarter.
However, the Boilermakers used a 36-13 third-quarter run to race out of McGuirk Arena with a 79-69 victory.
The Chippewas turned in a fine first half, outside of the closing minute, and went into the half leading 37-25. At that point it appeared the hosts just might beat a solid Big Ten foe.
