TMU had four players score in double figures, led by
Chloe Auble who had 21 points and buried eight triples, including several highly-contested shots.

"Great game tonight," TMU Head Coach Fonda Wilson said. "We played a full and complete game. Defense was great and offense executed well."
In the second quarter, the Lady Mustangs began to heat up, and after halftime, they dropped 23 points in the third quarter. In that third quarter, TMU grabbed seven offensive rebounds and Izbella Forker had nine points to lead the way. TMU coasted to a 35-point win to improve to 1-0 in GSAC play.
