Hayes pours in 31 to power Lady Raiders

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. A'Queen Hayes' career night powered Middle Tennessee past the visiting UNC Asheville Bulldogs 67-46 Thursday.

The senior guard tied her season high in points in the first half with 21, then finished it off with 10 more after the break to end with a career-high 31 on 13-of-22 shooting and 3-of-4 from 3-point range. She's now just 12 points away from 1,000 in her career.

"I thought Queen had a great game," MT Head Coach Rick Insell said. "We've had some pretty tough practices the last two or three days, and one of the things we've kept telling Queen is to shoot the three because it opens up slashing lanes.
