Shayna Gore’s game-high 26 points were not enough to lift Marshall to a win on Play4Kay day, as visiting Western Kentucky escaped the Cam Henderson Center with a 69-66 overtime win over the Thundering Herd.
“It’s a tough loss,” Thundering Herd head coach Tony Kemper said. “That one hurts. You have to give credit to Western Kentucky,” he said. “They came in here and they came after us early in the game.”
The Herd’s offense found itself going shot-for-shot throughout the contest with the lead changing 18 times in the game with the Herd taking a one-point lead over the Lady Toppers into halftime.
