MSU ends magical season at 22-10

The Murray State women's basketball team's 2021-22 campaign came to a close Thursday night with a 73-47 loss to Vanderbilt in the first round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament at Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Racers kept pace with the Commodores for the entire first half, trailing by three at the end of the first, 20-17, and tied with Vandy at the half, 28-28. The Racers came out of the locker room at halftime firing on all cylinders, leading the Dores, 35-29, with 6:39 to play.

However, it was at the point where things fell apart for the Racers. From that point on Murray State was outscored by Vandy, 44-12, including a 17-0 run in the last 7:04 of the game. With the win, the Commodores advance to the second round of the WNIT to face Liberty.

Macey Turley led the Racers with 13 points, while Katelyn Young followed with 10. Hannah McKay was just shy of a double-double in the contest, with nine points and a team-high nine rebounds.

The Racers end their 2021-22 season with an overall record of 22-10.
