Lady Tops look to regroup after setback at MTSU

he nation's longest winning streak in women’s college basketball came to an end Saturday evening when the WKU Lady Toppers fell 83-75 on the road at Middle Tennessee.

The loss marked the first defeat for the Lady Tops since they suffered a 59-53 setback at Ole Miss on Dec. 2, 2015.

"It’s a tough one to lose,” Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard said in a postgame radio interview. “We can’t give up 83 points on the road to anyone and expect to win.”

The game on Saturday was the first time WKU has allowed more than 69 points in 14 games, all of which the Lady Tops had won.
