Lady Raiders motor into WNIT Third Round
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee women's basketball made its way to the third round of the WNIT for the third time in program history on Monday night, defeating visiting Wake Forest 67-55 in the Murphy Center in the second round of the 2022 WNIT.
The Lady Raiders (25-7, 14-4 C-USA) dominated the first three quarters of the contest, playing great defense, holding the Demon Deacons (16-17, 4-14 ACC) to just 30.6 percent from the field throughout the game and turning the Deacs over 17 times. Wake Forest made a late run in the fourth quarter, but the 23-point lead at the end of the third quarter was too much to overcome.
