The women’s basketball team dropped their senior night game on Thursday at the Fant-Ewing Coliseum against conference opponent Middle Tennessee State University.

The team (9-20, 7-9) lost to the Blue Raiders 67-53.

The Warhawks came out flat to start the game defensively allowing the Blue Raiders to shoot over 54 percent from the field.

“They brought their ‘A-game’ and we didn’t,” head coach Mona Martin said. “They shot the ball really well.”

MTSU (23-5, 15-0) dominated going into halftime 41-24 led by the hot shooting of junior Kortni Jones.

Jones shot five for five from behind the three-point line in the half to lead her team with 17 points. She finished the game with 25 points and three steals.

Martin said, “I thought we did a better job in the second half, but I was very disappointed in our defense.”

ULM could not strike a comeback in the second half sending its seniors away with a loss in their final match at the Fant-Ewing Coliseum.

The women’s team honored its three seniors: Marion Zollicoffer, Eli Torres and Larrie Williams following the loss. Williams is the team’s leading scorer, but was held to only five points and one rebound against the Blue Raiders.

Martin said, “It’s not a good way to end your last game at home, and I feel bad for her because she’s been so good for our program.”
