A dominant second half from junior guard Macey Turley pushed Murray State to a 67-60 victory over the Jacksonville State Gamecocks on Thursday, Jan. 21.
Senior forward Laci Hawthorne set the pace for the Racers early, scoring six of the team’s first nine points and drawing two fouls, leading to two made free throws. Jacksonville State kept it close in the quarter, making seven of its 15 shot attempts and taking an 11-9 lead with 4:23 remaining in the quarter, but after a 7-0 run the Racers led the Gamecocks 18-15 at the end of the first quarter.
