Wichita State junior forward Jayla Murray set a new Division I career-high in scoring with 24 points on Saturday night as the Shockers won their first American Athletic Conference (AAC) matchup this season on the road, 82-70, against the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
Murray ended the game shooting 56% (9-16) from the floor, 50% (2-4) from deep and a perfect 4-4 from the free throw line, nabbing nine rebounds and registering a game-high +15 plus/minus.
Murray said her game plan was to remain aggressive and in a “go, go, go” mindset.
“We all (were) hungry for this win,” Murray said in an interview with ESPN+.
