My vu portal vanderbilt1/20/2024 Vanderbilt couldn't maintain that healthy double-digit lead, however, as the Lady Toppers cut the lead back to six points several times. A 3-pointer by Jasmine Lister and two fast-break baskets following defensive rebounds by Brown and Clarke gave the Dores a 13-point lead at 63-50 with 11:49 left in the game. With 13:59 left in the game, a 3-pointer by Foggie gave the Dores a 6-point lead at 56-50, the biggest lead of the game to that point.Īs it turned out, that basket was the beginning of a 10-0 Vanderbilt run. As it turned out, that lead would hold for the rest of the game, although it took a few minutes for the handwriting to appear on the walls. Then Vanderbilt took the lead on a jumper by Schrann. But the see-saw battled continued, and with 17:03 left in the game, the two teams were tied at 43-43, the eighth tie of the game. Vanderbilt took the lead early in the second half on a driving layup by Foggie. In the end, the Lady Toppers took a one-point lead into the locker room at 35-34. Soon afterwards, Western tied the game on a 3-pointer by Chastity Gooch, then took the lead following a Vanderbilt turnover.įrom then on, the rest of the half was neck-and-neck, with three ties and several lead changes, with neither team managing to get ahead by more than two points. Vanderbilt pulled ahead by five points on a 3-pointer by Kady Schrann and a little later equaled that lead at 22-17 on a layup by Tiffany Clarke with nine minutes left in the first half.īut after that, Clarke picked up her second foul and spent the rest of the half on the bench and soon afterwards, Brown also picked up a second foul and joined her on the sidelines. The fast and furious scoring slowed down a bit after that. But that 3-pointer was also answered immediately when Chaney Means sank one of her own, resulting in a 5-3 lead for Western less than one minute into the game. Western scored the first basket of the game, but Vanderbilt answered immediately with a 3-pointer from Elan Brown. In quieter moments, Western fans seated at court side did their part to create a hostile atmosphere by heckling players and helpfully offering advice and commentary to the officials. On Tuesday night the reported attendance was only 1,209, but whenever the Lady Toppers made a big play to take the lead, the noise level brought back memories of days of yore. After several years of dwindling attendance, WKU fans are starting to come back to Diddle Arena to see Coach Clark-Heard's scrappy never-say-die squad in action. The Lady Toppers, led by first year Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard, started the season 5-1 for the first time since the 2005-2006 season, including three wins in Sun Belt Conference play. Foggie, who hurt her foot during the San Juan Shootout, didn't start the game, but finished with 18 points in 30 minutes of playing time.
