LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Taylor Sutton is making quite an impact for Middle Tennessee early in her rookie campaign.
Sutton, the Lady Raiders' true freshman point guard, delivered a sterling performance to lead Middle Tennessee's 66-62 win against host UNLV in the title game of the UNLV Lady Rebel Roundup here Sunday.
Sutton led four Lady Raiders in double figures with 22 points while adding three assists and one steal to garner most valuable player honors. The Atlanta, Ga., native averaged 19.5 in two tournament wins. Earlier this season, Sutton became the first true freshman to start at point for Middle Tennessee since Shanice Cason in 2011.
