The WKU women's basketball team left Marshall thunderstruck on Saturday afternoon, improving to 3-0 in Conference USA play and rising to above .500 on the year.
The Lady Toppers (9-8, 3-0 C-USA) snapped Marshall’s three-game win streak by raining 3-pointers, nailing 10 shots from beyond the arc against the Thundering Herd (8-8, 2-1 C-USA) on their way to an 85-55 victory inside Diddle Arena. WKU shot 55 percent from the field, 59 percent from deep and swiped 11 steals.
The Thundering Herd out-rebounded WKU by a narrow 32-31 margin, although the Lady Toppers countered that disadvantage by outscoring Marshall in the paint 42-20 and scoring 30 points off of the Thundering Herd’s 20 turnovers.
