\nOn Friday Afternoon, The Marshall Thundering Herd (3-5) and the Jacksonville Dolphins (5-4) met in Huntington at the Cam Henderson Center. The Herd was aiming to rebound from their loss to Florida while Jacksonville looked to continue to build off its 3 game-winning streak<\/p>\n

Despite the hot streak the dolphins had to enter the contest, Marshall would hold on until the final horn as it would take the win in a nail-biter 78-76, giving the Herd faithful an early Christmas present as Marshall heads into winter break.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville kept it close the entire game, but Marshall had control thanks to a great offensive performance. The Herd went 50% from the field and went 6-14 on three-pointers. This performance was led by Meredith Maier, who had 20 points and 6 triples, which tied her season best. She wasn’t alone as Aislynn Hayes and Madison Kellione would account for 19 and 16, respectively<\/p>\n

The game would be back and forth as it went into the 4th quarter. The 4th would get started with a couple of 3-pointers by Maier and Kellione, getting the Herd out to a lead. The Dolphins would keep the game close, but Marshall would not relinquish the lead the entire last frame.<\/p>\n

With a pair of clutch free throws, and forcing one of Jacksonville’s 19 turnovers on the last possession, the Herd would hold on to take a 78-76 win and notch its 4th win of the season<\/p>\n

Marshall will travel to Cincinnati as it takes on another team in the MAC conference, the Cincinnati Bearcats, on Wednesday, Dec. 18.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
