Paced by 22 points and 18 rebounds from forward Catie Knable and 54 total team rebounds for the game, Marshall knocked off the Ohio women's basketball team, 86-63, Saturday in The Convo.
The Bobcats (6-6 overall, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) cut Marshall's 28- point lead into single digits with just more than six minutes to play in the contest, but the Thundering Herd (10-3, 2-1 MAC) took control, outscoring Ohio 21-7 the rest of the way.
They did a great job controlling the boards
and controlling the tempo Ohio coach Lynn
Bria said. I felt whoever controlled the tempo was going to win this game.
Knable entered the game as the conference's top rebounder, and she lived up to that billing. Her 18 boards - 12 in the second half - were three short of her career high.
I thought Catie Knable was outstanding tonight. I thought she did everything her team needed her to do on both ends of the floor said Marshall coach Royce Chadwick. Plus
there were a lot of times when she's the only senior out there with a lot of freshmen and sophomores.
The Thundering Herd collected 22 offensive rebounds, including multiple offensive boards during a single possession on several occasions.
