LAST TIME OUT
Layne Ferrell scored 20 of her 25 points after halftime as the Wright State women's basketball team defeated Robert Morris 80-77 in overtime on Sunday afternoon as the Raiders connected on a season-high 14 three-pointers. Ferrell's 25 points were her most as a Raider, matching a 25-point performance she had in March 2021 against Ohio while at Akron, and was her fifth game with double digit points in the last six contests. Hutchison finished with 14 points and a season-best 10 rebounds for her first double-double as a Raider, while Makiya Miller used three three-pointers on the way to a season-best 12 points of her own. Kacee Baumhower was the final Wright State player in double figures with 11 points.
ON A ROLL
Wright State enters Friday on a three-game winning streak, its second-longest of the season behind five straight victories from Nov. 14-Nov. 30 earlier this season. The Raiders' Dec. 31 win was their ninth victory, their most in a season under head coach Kari Hoffman. Wright State begins the weekend 5-1 at home.
FROM WAY DOWNTOWN
Wright State has connected on nine or more three-pointers as a group in eight of its 15 contests. The Raiders connected on a season-best 14 triples at Robert Morris (Dec. 31) and hit 12 threes against West Virginia (Dec. 18) and Eastern Illinois (Dec. 9), with 11 triples against Slippery Rock (Nov. 20).
