The Marshall University women’s basketball losing streak grew to three as its comeback fell short Thursday night to FIU, 68-65, in the Cam Henderson Center.
The Thundering Herd fell to 7-12 overall (2-6 Conference USA), while the Panthers improved to 5-15 on the season (2-7 C-USA).
The Panthers were seemingly locked in tonight as the team’s shooting percent on the season coming into the contest was 36.5% from the field and 29.1% from beyond the arc. Tonight the team shot 44.4% from both. Forward Ieva Spigule playing in just her 10th game this season paced the team with 18 points, 6-for-11 from the field and 6-for-10 from the three-point line, as the senior came off the bench and her teammates were able to find her wide open multiple times.
