Aislynn, Anastasia Hayes help MTSU snap Lady Toppers' 10-game winning streak in 2OT

The WKU women's basketball team (20-7, 12-4 C-USA) had its 10-game winning streak snapped against Middle Tennessee State (19-9, 11-5 C-USA) on Saturday evening, as the Lady Toppers lost a 108-103 decision in double overtime in the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

WKU’s final road game of the regular season was a battle between two of the top four teams in the Conference USA standings, and it proved to be an instant classic. The Lady Toppers forced two overtime periods, but MTSU outscored WKU 17-12 to claim the sixth and final frame.

Head coach Greg Collins had guided WKU to its first double digit winning streak since the 2016-17 season, but his 2019-20 squad stumbled in the first double overtime game between WKU and MTSU since a 70-68 away win for the Lady Toppers on Feb.
