MIAMI, Fla. — Life’s a beach, they say in Florida, and the Thundering Herd women’s team was looking for something good to happen as they finished a 3-game league opening trip that they had started 0-2 at world famous Miami Beach at FIU. Then, a Herd hometown hero stepped up on the road and did doubly good in helping the Herd to come back home with a win for a 4-game home stand in league play.
Huntington native Kiana Evans had a career day with 16 points and 14 rebounds for her first double-double to lead the Marshall women’s basketball team to a 65-58 road win — and MU’s first Conference USA win — at FIU Saturday afternoon.
