The Western Kentucky women’s basketball team picked up its first win of the season Wednesday.
After three losses to start the year, the young Lady Toppers gained some confidence by starting fast and closing strong in the second half to blow out Bellarmine 82-49 at E.A. Diddle Arena.
“I think that was the key, was confidence – that’s what we need,” WKU head coach Greg Collins said. “We need a little bit of confidence. That doesn’t mean everything’s fixed and everything’s good, but it sure makes it a lot better when you believe in yourself.”
All 10 WKU (1-3) players to appear in the game scored, led by 15 points from freshman Hope Sivori, who made her first start in college.
