MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – After starting the final 21 games of last season and the first 18 of the current campaign, junior forward Gabby Lyon was benched by Rick Insell at the outset of C-USA play.
It had nothing to do with lack of production.
In fact, it was just the opposite as she spent the next 18 games as a reserve. In most of those instances she was the team's first player off of the bench.
"Our bench was not as deep or productive as I would have liked entering conference play so we decided to bring Gabby off of the bench to light a spark and bring some energy," Lady Raider Head Coach Rick Insell said.
