It wasn’t a easy win, but WKU’s 62-51 victory over rival Middle Tennessee on Thursday was crucial for the Lady Tops as the regular season winds down and the postseason inches closer.
“I’m so proud of our players and our defense,” Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard said. “To hold that team to five points in the fourth quarter and to turn them over 21 times says a lot about our team.”
Defense was a major theme for both teams on Thursday as both teams shot below 50 percent from the field and combined to make just three shots from beyond the arc.
