MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — It was a fight, but Middle Tennessee closed out its regular season with a gutsy win Friday at the Murphy Center.
After struggling on the offensive end in a 72-49 loss to Marshall (8-10, 7-9) Thursday night, the Lady Raiders (14-7, 12-4) buckled on their hard hats and went to work Friday in a 61-54 win.
They had already clinched the Conference USA East Division thanks to Florida Atlantic beating Charlotte earlier in the day, but the redemptive victory meant a lot with the Conference USA Tournament coming up next week.
