Lady Raiders improve to 3-0 with win against Vanderbilt

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee women's basketball earned a big non-conference win Monday night at the Murphy Center, riding the momentum of three Lady Raiders scoring in double figures to sneak past Vanderbilt 55-46.

The top notch defense that has defined head coach Rick Insell's squad thus far this season once again made its presence felt. The Lady Raiders (3-0) held the Commodores (1-2) to just over 30 percent shooting from the field, including a 2-11 clip from beyond the arc.

"We're smart," Insell said of his team's defense.
