Lady Raiders score season-high in rivalry win over Lady Toppers

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee women's basketball endured the early onslaught from WKU and found their groove, scoring a season-high 94 points to defeat the Lady Toppers 94-81 on Thursday night in the Murphy Center.

The Lady Raiders (19-4, 12-2) trailed by as many as 10 points early in the second quarter, but stayed patient, hitting open shots, getting to the foul line and hauling in rebounds to mount an impressive offensive showcase, making 55.4 percent of their shots from the floor. While the Lady Toppers (13-10, 10-4 C-USA) were able to keep things close thanks to a hot shooting night from outside, (16-for-32 from three), MTSU dominated inside with 34 points in the paint to pace the offense.
