Marshall University women’s basketball closed out the regular season Saturday with a 63-53 win on the road against the University of Southern Mississippi.
With victory the Herd finished the regular season with a 19-10 overall record, the best mark since the 2004-05 season, while its 9-9 conference record was the program’s best since the 2006-07 season.
Marshall’s victory was buoyed by its success from the 3-point arc, where it tied a season-high with 11 made 3-pointers. However, the success from downtown didn’t come courtesy of the usual suspects as guard Kiana Evans knocked down a career-high four 3s, while senior forward Leah Scott tied a career-high with three made 3s.
