The Murray State Racers scored their first road win of the season Saturday with a 79-57 victory over the UT Martin Skyhawks. The Racers (5-6) stopped a four-game losing skid to improve to 2-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference. KJ Williams led five Racers in double-figure scoring with 17 points and he was one rebound shy of a double-double. Tevin Brown scored 13 points on four 3-point baskets. Dionte Bostick made his first career start at MSU and scored 11 points and was one assist shy of a double-double, while the Racers got a 10-point day from Demond Robinson and Chico Carter, Jr. Murray State welcomes Jacksonville State next Thursday night.
In the women’s game, Murray State played tough and fought to the final whistle in Saturday’s game at UT Martin, but it was not enough as the Racers fell, 77-71. The Racers are back in action Tuesday night in a 4 pm game at Belmont.
