Beaver Dam native now Murray State's all-time 3-point leader

It had been three years and one day since the Murray State women's basketball team had last beaten UT Martin and exactly four years since they had done so on the road, on Saturday both droughts came to an end, as the Racers topped the Skyhawks, 82-72, at the Elam Center in Martin.

The other highlight of the game came from Ohio County grad Mariah Robinson, as she became Murray State's all time leader in 3-pointers made with her third made three of the game.  A Beaver Dam native, Robinson now has 212 for her career, breaking former teammate Amber Guffey's record of 2010, set in 2009.
