It was a night for the reserves in the Western Kentucky women’s basketball team’s 67-63 win over Florida International on Thursday at E.A. Diddle Arena.
The bench accounted for 38 points -- led by 18 from Hope Sivori -- with Karris Allen and Teresa Faustino both making key contributions that fueled a fourth-quarter comeback and allowed WKU (10-9 overall, 7-3 Conference USA) to beat FIU for the second time in 12 days.
“They’ve come through several times,” WKU coach Greg Collins said. “Sometimes it hasn’t resulted in a win, but there have been several times where the bench has outscored the starters.
