Central Michigan women's basketball coach Sue Guevara knew it wasn't going to be easy against Vanderbilt, a tough SEC opponent.
Proving herself correct, CMU and Vanderbilt traded baskets for nearly the entire game until senior forward Reyna Frost provided a momentum swing on a 3-pointer for a 55-52 lead with 4:37 remaining.
Her second-straight triple made it 58-52 just over one minute later.
The Chippewas (8-1) finished in the win column for the seventh-straight game with a 66-57 victory over the Commodores (4-6) on Dec. 15 at Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, Tennessee.
Senior guard Presley Hudson paced CMU with 24 points, six rebounds and six assists on 9-of-17 shooting from the field, but the combination of sophomore center Kyra Bussell, junior forward Gabrielle Bird and freshman forward Anika Weekes off the bench made the difference.
