The Marshall women headed to Texas for Thanksgiving, but not to visit family. The Herd is playing in the Feast on the Border Classics at the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley, and in the opening round the Herd jumped to an early lead and cruised by winning all four quarters in a 73-50 win over the Bearkats of Sam Houston State at the UTRGV Field House.
The Herd improves to 4-0 on the season with its second victory in four games away from the Cam Henderson Center. Marshall will meet 2-2 Prairie View A&M on Saturday at 5:30 p.
