HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – A sizable second quarter dropped Marshall (1-2) in its Saturday afternoon contest at Northern Kentucky (1-2), 76-66.
Senior guard Abby Beeman broke through for 26 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. Her first double-double of the season included a new single-game high in points with the Herd.
Beeman had three double-doubles in 2022-23 with MU. Her 5.6 assists per game average a season ago led all Marshall players in the 21st century. Beeman had 19 games last year with five or more assists.
Roshala Scott scored 17 while Mahogany Matthews had a season-best 12 points with six blocks.
