Lady Raiders open season on high note
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The 2018-19 season started on a high note for Middle Tennessee Friday night.
The Lady Raiders (1-0) built a big first-half lead and held on against the visiting Vanderbilt Commodores (0-2), moving to 12-8 all-time against their in-state foe with a 65-58 win.
"We knew it was going to be a game much like it was," MT Head Coach Rick Insell said. "We knew they would be dangerous and come in here with a lot of energy … and it was a great game.
"I'm really proud of our young ladies."
Middle Tennessee featured one of the better defenses in Conference USA last season and didn't seem to miss a beat on Friday.
