MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee women's basketball started aggressive and kept their foot on the gas on Sunday, jumping out to a 25-point halftime lead before cruising to a 72-47 win over Stephen F. Austin in the Murphy Center.
The Lady Raiders (9-3) were active on the defensive end, holding the Ladyjacks (6-4) to just 29.6 percent shooting from the floor in the first half, only allowing 20 points in the game's first 20 minutes. On the other end of the court, MTSU started hot from outside, knocking down eight three-pointers in the first half, taking advantage of SFA's matchup zone to find open shots, at one point going on a 15-0 run between the first and second quarters.
