Herd women falls to Blue Raiders
The Marshall University women’s basketball team continued its streak of trading wins and losses following its 65-54 defeat Thursday night at Middle Tennessee State University.
The Herd (13-5, 3-5) have yet to string together consecutive victories since conference play began Jan. 2 and have not won back-to-back games since Dec. 28.
In Thursday’s loss to the Blue Raiders, a subpar second half undid the Herd as it was outscored 38-28 after intermission.
After posting similar shooting percentages in the first half of action, the Herd could not keep up with the scoring of Middle Tennessee State in the second, converting just six of its 27 shot attempts for a 22.2 percent clip.
