Pearson helps Herd women’s basketball collect win

Junior Taylor Pearson and her success behind the three point line helped lift Marshall University past Coppin State by a score of 60-47 on Tuesday.

“Good to get a win obviously, a bit of a grinder of a game,” Head Coach Tony Kemper said. “I was happy with how hard our offense was, and our defense was pretty consistent.”

Marshall started the game off slow by going 3-16 from the field in the first quarter, and Coppin State took advantage by ending the first quarter up on the Herd, 10-7.

The Herd came out on fire in the second quarter by scoring 21 points in that quarter alone.
