HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Women's Basketball (4-0) ended up a three-game homestand with a 73-60 win over West Virginia State on Thursday to extend the team's winning streak to four.
The 4-0 start is the program's first time since the 2016-17 season.
"Obviously at times that was not some of the prettiest basketball, but to me I was really proud of the effort because we had a huge game the other night against Howard where we expended a lot of energy and yesterday we practiced pretty hard," Herd Basketball Head Coach Juli Fulks said.
The Herd saw four tally double-figure points led by 17 off the bench from Maddie Moody on a 7-for-9 shooting day while adding six boards. Kassie Ingram followed with 12 points to go with five rebounds and five assists.
Olivia Olson added 11 points with five rebounds and five assists as Ni'Kiah Chesterfield registered 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Marshall came out hot with an 8-2 run to start the game, including four points from Ingram. MU ended the first quarter with five points from Moody to take a 19-10 lead after the first 10 minutes.
Chesterfield started the second with a layup to give the Herd its first double-digit lead of the game at 21-10. After trading baskets most of the quarter, Marshall went on a 6-1 advantage from the 2:53 mark to 1:10 concluded by a pair of free throws from Olivia Olson to take its largest lead of the half at 12 points, 35-23, and carried a 35-25 advantage into halftime.
The Herd scored the first 11 points of the quarter and held the Yellow Jackets scoreless for the first 6:11 to go up 46-25. After trading points in the final 3:49, Marshall led 53-34 heading into the fourth.
A 9-2 run to start the fourth, with four points each from Elizabeth Hunt and Olson, saw MU take its largest lead of the contest at 26 points, 62-36.
The Herd dominated the glass 43-32 and won the battle in the paint 40-28.
