Lady Raiders chalk up 20th win of season

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. – Winning on the road is never easy, especially in conference play.

Chalking up 20-win seasons is also no easy task.

Middle Tennessee (20-5, 12-3) achieved both, using a strong finish to surge past Marshall, 65-57, here Thursday night.

The defending Conference USA champion Lady Raiders remained one game behind East-Division leader Charlotte with three league games remaining. The two teams play one another next week.

It marks the 15th time in 17 seasons that the Lady Raiders have won 20 or more under Head Coach Rick Insell.
