Light December stretch gift for Lady Raiders
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — There's one present this holiday season Middle Tennessee's Lady Raiders won't have to unwrap.
After starting with seven games in the season's first 25 days, MT has been given a light end to the nonconference slate featuring only five games in 32 days, including a completely game-free Christmas week.
Following an 86-63 win over VCU on Wednesday, Head Coach Rick Insell granted the players with a whole week off. They won't practice again until Dec. 26, and to say the holiday break is the perfect gift for the Lady Raiders would be an understatement.
"I think we need the break," freshman Aislynn Hayes said. "We get to sleep, that's what I'm happy about."
