MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee women's basketball woke up and didn't miss a beat on Thursday morning, racing out to a 22-point lead after one quarter of play and never looking back, trouncing Florida A&M 93-48 in Murphy Center during the program's annual Education Day Game.
The Lady Raiders (2-0) shot 20-for-29 in the first half, including a 9-for-11 second quarter, while making 11-of-14 first half three-pointers to indubitably take a commanding 62-18 lead into the locker room at halftime. After stretching their lead to as much as 74-18 halfway through the third quarter on a Ta'Mia Scott layup, capping off a 16-point scoring run between the two frames, the bench was emptied the rest of the night for MTSU, with no player recording more than 29 minutes on the court on Monday.
