Contining growth pushes Lady Toppers into home tilt against FIU

In Western Kentucky’s case, team chemistry off the court translates to trust on the court, which has helped the Lady Toppers earn two wins in Conference USA – two wins which presented a pair of unique challenges.

“I think we’ve grown a lot since the season started,” WKU freshman Sherry Porter said. “These last games we’ve been growing together and just trusting each other on defense. If someone drives past me, I trust my next teammate on the floor to help me out and we’ve been playing together.”

Another different challenge approaches WKU (11-4 overall, 2-0 C-USA) with a much-improved Florida International team coming to close out a four-game WKU homestand Thursday night at 7 p.
