Lady Raiders win on Education Day
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A crowd filled with Murfreesboro City Schools students watched Middle Tennessee take down Georgia State Thursday afternoon.
The Lady Raiders (6-2) withstood a flurry of a rally from the Panthers (3-2) in the third quarter and used a few key baskets late to leave with a 69-54 win in the annual Education Day Game.
The most-attended Education Day Game nationally since the tradition started in Murfreesboro during the 2012-13 season attracted 11,310 fans, most of which were students.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game," MT Head Coach Rick Insell said. "I'm very proud of our young ladies for hanging in there and coming back after they got behind.
