HUNTINGTON, W. Va. (WMUL-FM) \u2014 Marshall Women’s Basketball started its second season of the Juli Fulks era right with a 53-39 win over the Buffalo Bulls.<\/p>\n
This was the first time the two teams had met since 2004, as the squads battled in the SBC-MAC showdown.<\/p>\n
Marshall would get out fast and build up a 15-point lead in the first quarter, 22-7, thanks to a mix of turnovers from Buffalo and good rebounding by Marshall.<\/p>\n
Buffalo would fight back as the herd would get cold and get outscored 11-9, and it would be 31-18 going into the break.<\/p>\n
The second half is where Marshall struggled a lot last year, but that would not be the case in this game. Marshall scored 14 points with a couple of threes to pull away again.<\/p>\n
The bulls got some traction, but the wheels started spinning too late as Marshall would hold on to a 53-39 win.<\/p>\n
Marshall played superb defense, forcing 26 turnovers and getting 16 points off of them. 39 points is also the lowest Marshall has held a D1 team to since Nov. 22, 2022.<\/p>\n
Freshman Olivia Olson scored fourteen points, going 4-8 from three. Blessing King grabbed 11 rebounds, and <\/span>Ni’Kiah Chesterfield<\/span> and Kassie Ingram got 11 points apiece.<\/p>\n Marshall will be back at home again this Thursday to face Northern Kentucky. Tip-off is set for\u00a06 pm.<\/p>\n You can tune in to Thursday’s matchup on 88.1 WMUL-FM and online at Stream 1 at www.marshall.edu\/wmul.
