WSU women win fifth straight

Wichita State won its fifth straight women’s basketball game Sunday under its third coach in that span.

TaQuandra Mike scored 20 points and Wichita State shot 53.3 percent in routing Loyola 83-64 in Chicago.

After losing four games to open the Missouri Valley Conference part of the schedule, the Shockers (10-10) have won five straight in the conference, including three on the road. The first win came under former coach Jody Adams-Birch, the second and third at home under acting coach Kirk Crawford, and weekend wins at Indiana State and Loyola under interim coach Linda Hargrove.

Hargrove took over the program Monday after Adams-Birch was relieved of her coaching duties by WSU following athletic director Darron Boatright’s investigation into the program.
