After the hot start to the quarter, the Raider offense has gone cold. Shippensburg has now missed six of their last seven shots as the deficit grows.

Back-to-back layups from Kiara Hardy forces a Shepherd timeout early in the third quarter! SU looking to fight their way back into this game!

While we’re at halftime, wanted to shout out SUTV for their annual All-Women’s broadcast for tonight’s game. Great to see the team out here with women’s history month just days away.

McKenzie Thomas gets on the board with a fast-break layup just before the break, but SU heads into the locker room down by 19 after shooting just 27% in the half.

Coach Trn is looking for answers from the officiating crew as she calls a timeout. The whole team is looking for answers on offense as they trail by a dozen.

End of the first quarter, and the Raider offense has no answers for Shepherd's defense. SU didn't score a single point in the last 5:19 of the quarter. Foddrell was able to re-enter the game.

Makayla Foddrell takes a hard fall and leaves the game with an apparent injury. It's a strong start for the defenses, with both already forcing 5 turnovers.

Makayla Foddrell scores the first basket of the game, putting Shippensburg in front! She's playing her final home game as a Raider, capping off four great seasons at SU.
