PREGAME NOTES
Roshala Scott finished with a new career-high against USF Wednesday. The junior guard from Earle, Arkansas scored 28 points on 5-7 shooting from behind the arc. Scott is shooting a blistering 48.8 percent from three, which is the second best percentage in the Sun Belt, 23rd best in the country.
Junior Abby Beeman has collected nine rebounds in consecutive games. Beeman is also finding efficiency, leading the Herd with 40 assists. The 40 assists lead the conference as well.
Mahogany Matthews has set a new career-high in each of her last two games. After an 18 point performance against Wright State, the redshirt-junior followed it up with a 20 point outing against USF.
Despite facing a Bulls team that led their conference in rebounding, Marshall's defense stood tall. The Herd are allowing just 55.6 points per game on average, which is second in the Sun Belt, and 32nd among 350 teams in NCAA Division I.
