Women’s basketball scores another victory for Wright State against Marian University on Education Day.
The audience looked a bit different for Education Day as many elementary students from around the area were invited to watch the WSU Women’s Basketball players take the court for their ninth game of the season.
According to wsuraiders.com, Education Day is a day of fun in which kids can learn health and fitness tips and enjoy a free basketball game.
With a final score of 64-60, their overall record becomes 6-3 as they prepare to take on Iowa State on Dec. 15.
The Raiders started out strong on Wednesday morning leading in points in both the first and second quarters. By halftime, the score was 33-19 and Wright State was confident in their win.
The Marian Knights came out the second half ready to fight though, and gave WSU a run for their money. Marian University upped their game and scored more than double in the second half than what they did in the first half.
Thankfully, the Raiders continued to rack up the points and still came out on top. In a close game, WSU beat MU by only five points.
Among the leaders of Wednesday afternoon’s match was G Angel Baker (15) who scored her highest number of points in a game so far with a total of 26. This is Baker’s third game in a row leading her team in points per game.
F Shamarre Hale (10) came in second with 11 points scored with only 19 minutes on the court.
C Tyler Frierson (33) helped lead the team in rebounds with a total of seven for the game, right behind Baker who had a total of nine.
After traveling to Iowa for their next game on the 15th, Women’s Basketball will head down to the sunny state of Florida to play in the UCF holiday tournament.
While in Orlando, Fla., they will play St. Bonaventure and UCF in back to back games on Friday and Saturday. They will then head home just in time for the holidays.
