Women's basketball earns dominant win at West Virginia Tech

BECKLEY, W.V. - Midway went on a 17-3 run between the first and second quarters and continued its dominance for the remainder of the game, crushing River States Conference opponent West Virginia Tech 84-57 on the road Tuesday night.

The Eagles overcame a slow start by scoring the final nine points of the first quarter, with back-to-back baskets by Jacie Chesser and a 3-pointer by Atlantis White giving them an 18-13 lead at the end of the first quarter.

After the Golden Bears opened the second-quarter scoring with a 3-pointer, Midway responded with an 8-0 run. And following a Jermyra Christian 3-point play less than three minutes into the period, Midway's lead would remain in double figures the rest of the game.

The Eagles got the win behind a balanced offensive effort which saw five players score in double figures. Coming off the bench, Kassidy Daugherty led all scorers with 17 points and three 3-pointers.

A'Lyrica Hughes had another highly efficient and balanced outing, scoring 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting, while also recording five rebounds, five assists and a game-high four steals. Midway forced 19 turnovers, which resulted in 22 points.

Elsewhere, Christian had 13 points and a game-high six assists, Chesser had 13 points and White added 11.

The Eagles shot 33-of-64 from the field, topping 50 percent for just the second time this season and the first time in conference play. They also shot 41.2 percent (7-of-17) from 3-point range, the second best percentage of the season.

Now 9-7 overall and 3-2 in the RSC, Midway will continue a five-game road swing with a non-conference matchup against Wilberforce (Ohio) at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
