The Mean Green advanced to 7-7 overall and 2-2 in CUSA play against the Thundering Herd of Marshall this evening.  North Texas ended an 8-game home win streak the Herd had going for the 2015-2016 season.  Marshall was a bit of a paper dragon coming into today's game as they had not faced very many tough opponents and so North Texas was perhaps their first true test at home this season. The Player of the Game really goes to two players, both of whom scored 18 points each -- Candice Adams and Terra Ellison.  Candice finished the game shooting 6 of 12 (50%) from the floor, 1 of 4 (25%) from behind the arc, and 5 of 6 (83.3%) from the Free Throw lines

The Mean Green kicked of its conference slate at home against the Road Runners of UTSA after an 11 day break.  The game against Oklahoma Pan Handle State was canceled due to in-clement weather.  Head Coach Jalie Mitchell had expressed concern that North Texas would have some rust to shake off given the long and unexpected break however the first period proved to show the Mean Green were anything but rusty.  North Texas managed to 21 points, a season high and then held the Runners to just 6 points in the second period. Kelsey Criner scored a career high of 23 points while notching her sixth double digit game.  She was 8 of 11 (72.7%) from the floor, 2 of 2
