Murray State women's basketball fell 76-74 to Princeton
Halli Poock scored a team-high 29 points, but Murray State could not hold on down the stretch, falling 76-74 to Princeton at the Robins Center in Richmond, Virginia on Sunday afternoon.
The Racers (1-2) took a 60-57 lead into the fourth quarter and stretched their cushion to 67-61 early in the final period. However, Princeton (3-0) mounted a late rally, taking a 71-69 advantage on a Fadima Tall layup with 26 seconds remaining.Â
Poock shot 11-of-27 from the field and connected on three 3-pointers for Murray State. Sharnecce Currie-Jelks recorded 12 points and eight rebounds, while freshman Katie Reed provided 10 points off the bench. Haven Ford chipped in nine points, five rebounds and four assists in the loss.
The highly anticipated non-conference game featured nine lead changes and six ties throughout the 40 minutes of regulation. Murray State will look ahead to the squad's home opener against Morehead State on November 12. The matchup will be the Racers annual Education Day game with several surrounding area schools in attendance for the 11 a.m. tip-off.
