On Thursday afternoon, the Wright State women's basketball team extended their winning streak to four games with a 76-73 victory at Detroit Mercy. The win moves the Raiders to 23-6 overall and 15-2 in the Horizon League, securing at least a tie for the regular-season title as well as the number one seed in the Horizon League Tournament. Wright State can win the title outright with a victory Saturday at Oakland. The 15 wins ties the WSU women's basketball record for conference wins in a season.

With her 17 rebounds, Symone Simmons has become the first Wright State basketball player (men or women) to enter the 1,000 Rebound Club. Earlier this season Simmons set the women's basketball record for career rebounds at Wright State. With four more points this season, Simmons would become the team's 22^nd member of the 1000 Point Club. Angel Baker led the scoring for the Raiders with 20 points and also added three assists.

Angel Baker doubled up the score on the Titans, 8-4, but the Titans were able to take back the lead with a six point scoring spurt. Baker would put in the next seven points for the Raiders, including at three-pointer. After Baker's scoring streak, Imani Partlow started to take over under the basket with two consecutive layups and then added one point from the line to make the score 20-15. With 0:04 on the clock, Angel Baker forced a steal was able to dish the ball to Symone Simmons. Simmons added her second basket of the game to finish the quarter with a seven-point Raider lead.

With 4:04 on the clock, Dasia Evans chalked up a layup to maintain the Raiders' double-digit lead after a short run by the Titans, one possession later Evans would hit a shot from behind the arc. Michal Miller would add the last points of the quarter and the Raiders would enter halftime with a 43-33 lead against the Titans,

Coming out of the media timeout, Imani Partlow would put in her fourth basket of the game. With 2:50 remaining in the quarter, Angel Baker would get a layup to drop then 21 seconds later put in a jumper. Before Baker's two scores, the Titans were on a 12-4 run against the Raiders and had pulled back within five points. In the last two minutes of the quarter, Emily Vogelpohl, Mackenzie Taylor, and Symone Simmons would each add two points to give the Raiders back their double-digit lead.

4^th Quarter
From the line, Emily Vogelpohl would add one point and two possessions later Dasia Evans would add another two from the field. Evans would add another two points to her stat line from the free throw line one minute later. At the 6:23 mark, Emily Vogelpohl would be sent to the line once again where she would add two. Over the next 2:30 the Titans would go on an eight point streak to pull within three of the Raiders and to put their lead in jeopardy. After a three-pointer from the Titan's Brittany Jackson, Detroit was able to pull within one point of Wright State. The Raiders would find their answer though with Angel Baker who would sink a crucial three of her own on the next possession. The Titans would sink another three but the Raiders would get two points from Imani Partlow at the 1:32 mark to maintain their three point lead. After drawing a foul against the Raiders, Detroit's Jiera Shears would add two from the line to make the score 74-73. A devastating turnover with 19 seconds left in the game would give the Titans a chance at the upset but a miss would give the Raiders a chance to ice the game. Emily Vogelpohl would be the Raider to secure the victory for Wright State as she converted both of her shots.
