MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — If there was any recurring theme you could pick out of Middle Tennessee State's (9-5, 1-0 CUSA) 69-38 win over the FIU Panthers (4-8, 0-1 CUSA), it would be just a quick point and a smile at number one after a Blue Raider basket. Blue Raider senior point guard Courtney Blakely has been known throughout her career to excite the Murphy Center crowd with some dazzling reverse layups and clutch late-game shots. But tonight, it was her passing, defense and pure selflessness that led the Blue Raiders to a win to open conference play.
