\nHUNTINGTON, W. Va. (WMUL-FM) \u2014 On an ice-cold Wednesday night, the Marshall Thundering Herd (5-11) took on the JMU Dukes (13-4) in their second meeting of the season. The Herd came into the match on a five-game skid, while the Duke\u2019s came to town on a five-game win streak, representing polar opposite seasons.<\/p>\n
The Herd struggled all night long shooting just 32% from the field going into halftime, while its counterpart JMU shot 53% from the field in the first half. Marshall trailed 50-30 going into the half, and it saw limited improvement in the second half, eventually losing 93-65.<\/p>\n
Despite a mediocre performance by the Herd, it shot 70% from the free-throw line while keeping up with the Dukes on the glass being narrowly out-rebounded 37 to 32. Marshall\u2019s CC Mays finished as the Herd\u2019s leading scorer, finishing with a career and game high 24 points while shooting 4 for 4 from the charity stripe.<\/p>\n
Aislynn Hayes helped Mays in the scoring department, netting 12 points while leading the Herd with 4 assists.<\/p>\n
While the Herd struggled, its opponent flourished. The Dukes finished with four scorers in double figures. Ro Scott finished with a team high 20 points to go along with three steals. The Dukes defense was on point, forcing 20 turnovers and scoring 29 points off said turnovers.<\/p>\n
Despite the rough loss, the Herd look to push forward under first year coach Juli Fulks when it hosts App State on Saturday, Jan. 18th at 1 p.m. at the Cam Henderson Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
