Marshall enters week on three-game winning streak
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Winners of three straight, the Marshall women's basketball team returns home to face App State Thursday.
Sophomore forward Samantha LaFon is excited to continue building the confidence the team is playing with.
"Once our team realizes that we don't have to wait until the fourth quarter, we're a good team for 40 minutes," LaFon said. "Once our team gets that confidence about us, it is really hard to stop us."
