Lady Tops' streak comes to an end at MTSU

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

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

"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 Toppers won.
