Lady Toppers roll on Education Day

Western Kentucky got one of its most enthusiastic crowds Thursday morning. The Lady Toppers gave those in attendance plenty to cheer about early and often.

WKU built a 15-point lead in the first quarter and rolled to a 68-51 win against Conference USA foe Old Dominion on Spread the Red Education Day.

The Lady Toppers (15-2 overall, 6-0 C-USA) forced the Lady Monarchs (7-11, 3-3) into 22 turnovers, scoring 29 points off those miscues.

Four WKU players scored in double figures as the team sent a crowd of 2,814 fans – most of whom were local elementary and middle school students – home happy.
