MTSU's women notched a huge road win and moved into sole possession of first place in C-USA with an impressive 80-63 win against Old Dominion here Thursday.
The Lady Raiders' win, coupled with Charlotte's loss to UAB, enabled them to move one game in front of Charlotte and one-half game in front of WKU, which was idle Thursday. MTSU (15-8, 10-2) won its fourth straight.
Alex Johnson and Ty Petty combined for 52 points to lead Middle Tennessee but the duo was far from a two-player wrecking crew. Johnson delivered a double-double with a game-high 28 points and 10 rebounds, while Petty finished with 24 points, six assists and three steals.
