MSU Women's Offensive Eruption Leads to 100-77 Victory at UT Martin

Eagles Place Six Players in Double Figures- Paynter with Career-High 28

Morehead, Ky. -- The Morehead State women's basketball team placed six players in double figures and overwhelmed UT Martin 100-77 in the Eagles' season finale Saturday afternoon in Martin, Tenn.

Harley Paynter led the charge with a career-high 28 points, hitting six of her nine three pointer tries. Chrishawn Coleman added 16 points and dished out a career-high six assists. Michelle Ugwah and Kalise Hill finished with 12 points apiece. Kate Novik finished with 11 points and just missed her fourth career double-double with nine rebounds. Maia Rosarion added 10 points.

Morehead State (10-20/ 5-15 OVC) got off to a fast start, shooting 67% from the floor in the first quarter and led 26-21 after the first ten minutes. MSU then hit 73% in the second frame and led 51-40 at the half. 

UT Martin (13-18/ 10-10 OVC) was cold from three-point range shooting just 30% from distance. The Skyhawks were led by Kenley McCarn with 15 points. Anaya Brown finished with 13 and Daejah Richmond added 12.

The offensive outburst marked the first time since December 2, 2010, the MSU women's team scored 100 points against an OVC team in a regulation game, when the Eagles put up 103 against UT Martin in Johnson Arena.

The last time Morehead State scored 100 points in an OVC road game was February 11, 1993, when the Eagles hung 110 up at Eastern Kentucky.

Last season, MSU lost to Eastern Illinois, 105-103; but that game went through four overtime periods, one of the longest women's college basketball games in history.

The Eagles were eliminated from the Ohio Valley Conference tournament this afternoon as Tennessee State upended 73-64 to clinch the eighth and final seed.
