The Marshall Thundering Herd women’s basketball team lost its season opener to the Indiana State Sycamores, 62-53, Wednesday at the Cam Henderson Center.
“We all have to be better,” Marshall head coach Tony Kemper said. “It’s disappointing to start the year like that.”
Both teams were highly competitive throughout the first half, with neither team able to run away with the lead to start the game. The Thundering Herd went into the locker room with a 30-25 halftime lead, led by Khadaijia Brooks’ 10 points and 7 first half rebounds.
The contest was the redshirt junior guard’s first game back following a leg injury that sidelined her for the entire 2017-18 season.
