The Murray State women's basketball won its second consecutive game and first this season at the CFSB Center on Tuesday night with a convincing 76-62 victory over Evansville.
The game was controlled by Murray State (2-3) from the onset as they held an Evansville (2-2) team that had scored 15 3-pointers in its previous game to a 1-for-12 performance in the first half. Meanwhile, the Racers weren't too shabby themselves from behind the arc, as they went 9-for-20 on the night to finish at 45 percent.
The Racers led by 15 at the half and led by as many as 18 to start the stanza. The Purple Aces eventually found their offensive stroke in the second half, but MSU matched them virtually point-for-point to hold on for the 14 point win.
The guard play of the Racers was outstanding on the night as the trio of senior Mariah Robinson, junior Erica Burgess and freshman Erika Sisk combined for 65 of MSU's 76 points on the night. Robinson led all scorers in the game with 31, while Burgess and Sisk followed with 21 and 13, respectively.
Robinson led another great free throw shooting night for the Racers as she went 10-for-10 from the stripe, while MSU as a team went 23-for-27 or 87.1 percent. Individually, Robinson is now shooting 94.4 percent on the year from the free throw line, while the team as whole is shooting 73.6 percent.
Rebounding was another big part of the Racer's game on Tuesday night, as they outrebounded the Purple Aces 50 to 35. Freshman Kelsey Dirks played a huge role in Murray State's efforts on the glass, by pulling down double digit rebounds for the first time in her career with 10.
Robinson finished the night just one board shy of a second-straight double-double with nine, while senior Kyra Watson and junior Jessica Winfrey followed with seven each.
Murray State will play the second game of a six-game home stand on Monday when it hosts Lipscomb at The Bank. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
