The Marshall women’s basketball team used record-setting performances Thursday from senior guards Taylor Porter and Shayna Gore to defeat the FIU Panthers in blowout fashion, 87-42, at the Cam Henderson Center.
“(Gore and Porter) went out with a blaze of glory,” women’s head coach Tony Kemper said. “They really like to play and love to compete. They like to win. They both brought tremendous crowds from Logan, West Virginia, Fort Gay, West Virginia, and Louisa, Kentucky.”
Marshall set new school records with 18 three-pointers in a game and 10 Conference USA wins. Gore became the third player in Marshall women’s basketball history with 2,000 career points and Porter broke Gore’s school record for most 3-pointers in a game with 10.
