Game Notes
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall women's basketball team is back in the Cam Henderson Center to face the Cleveland State Vikings, Saturday at 5 p.m.
The game is part of a Marshall basketball doubleheader as the men's team takes on Toledo at 2:30 p.m.
The Thundering Herd enters the game with a 3-5 record and the Vikings come in at 3-6.
The game will be broadcast live on HerdVision on CUSAtv as Jake Griffith will have the call. The match will also be broadcast on 88.1 WMUL-FM and with audio streamed online at www.marshall.edu/wmul through one of the Listen Live links.
Last time out - at Wisconsin Dec. 4 - L, 67-49
The Herd fought hard but in the end it wasn't enough in its first-ever meeting with the Wisconsin Badgers. Marshall's defense played well stopping Wisconsin on the majority of its first shot of a possession. However, the Badgers size eventually wore down the Herd as the home team grabbed 31 of its 68 rebounds on the offensive glass to help lead to the win. Wisconsin scored 21 second chance points. Redshirt senior Taylor Porter scored a season-high 16 points and tied a career-best with eight boards in the loss. Senior Shayna Gore scored 16 points as well and added two steals. Junior Ashley Saintigene swatted three shots and grabbed six rebounds. The game was tied 13-13 at the end of the first, but then Wisconsin outscored Marshall 21-10 in the second quarter to move ahead for good.
Scouting the Vikings
Cleveland State has started off the season with a 3-6 record in head coach Chris Kielsmeier's first season. Kielsmeier spent eight seasons at Howard Payne (DIII) and then 10 years at Wayne State (DII) and amassed over 400 wins combined in turning both schools into perennial contenders. However, in 2018 Cleveland State has dropped its last six games including a 65-60 loss to Toledo in the Vikings last outing. Cleveland State shot 34.4 percent in the loss as the Rockets hit 43.5 percent from the floor. Savanna Crockett scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Mariah White scored 14 points, dished out four assists, but committed 11 turnovers. Freshman Isabelle Gradwell had a career game with 15 points and hit 4-of-8 from three-point range. Mariah Miller leads the Vikings in scoring with 16.4 points per game and Jade Ely is right behind with 15.9 per contest. Crockett is third in scoring (11.3), leads in rebounding with 9.6 boards a game and 13 blocks. Cleveland State is shooting 45.0 percent from the field this season and 31.1 percent from three. The Vikings hold a slim rebounding margin over its opponents this season of 1.2 (40.0 - 38.8).
The Series: Sixth meeting, Marshall leads 3-2
This Saturday is the sixth meeting and the third home-and-home series between the schools. The first meeting came on Feb. 23, 1980, a 50-47 Marshall win in Huntington. The Vikings won the road matchup on Jan. 12, 1981, 73-68. The Herd won the next two contests in 2009 and 2010. Cleveland State took the most recent game, on Nov. 19, 2017 in Cleveland, 85-76. Gore scored 19 to lead Marshall and Talequia Hamilton added a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Kristen Mayo scored a then career-high 14 points in the loss. All four of the players who scored in double-figures for the Vikings, graduated and are no longer on the roster.
Following the match with Cleveland State, Marshall stays home in the Cam Henderson Center as Tennessee State visits on Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2 p.m.
