A late surge by the Marshall women’s basketball team (7-17, 1-10 Conference USA) wasn’t enough to defeat UAB (20-3, 9-1 CUSA) Saturday afternoon at the Cam Henderson Center. The Blazers defeated the Herd, 69-62.
“I challenged our team after Thursday,” head coach Tony Kemper said. “I just challenged them to go find that (effort). Today, I didn’t coach much effort. I just got to do basketball things.”
Despite going down by 17 late in the second quarter, the Herd trailed by just three heading into the fourth quarter and even tied it up with a Talequia Hamiton three in the opening minute.
