MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — It was just about a perfect senior night for Charity Savage Thursday.
Middle Tennessee (20-9, 12-5) welcomed North Texas (11-18, 5-12) to the Murphy Center and sent its lone senior off with a double-digit victory, 74-63, and Savage showed why she's become quite the crowd favorite this season.
She scored 13 points, but most of her work came on the glass, where she gobbled up a career-high 25 rebounds, nine of them on the offensive end. She became just the third Lady Raider ever to record 25 boards in a game, finishing two off the program record set by Robin Hendrix in the 1980-81 season and tying Hendrix and Jennifer McFall for second on the single-game list.
