MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Western Kentucky women’s basketball team battled back from a 13-point second-half deficit Saturday to force overtime, and then another overtime, but couldn’t escape the Murphy Center with the program’s 11th straight win.
Anastasia Hayes had a near-triple-double and Middle Tennessee scored the first six points of the second added period to beat the Lady Toppers 108-103.
“Our defense was still bad and they were getting to the basket and we were either fouling or letting them shoot layups,” WKU coach Greg Collins said about the second overtime. “We weren’t forcing any turnovers and that was the difference in the fourth quarter.
