Lady Toppers suffer first lost in conference play
January 7, 2013
WKU’s perfect start to Sun Belt Conference play came to a close Sunday as the Lady Toppers fell 63-58 to Arkansas State.
The Lady Toppers shot just 41.9% from the field and turned the ball over 24 times in Jonesboro, Ark.
WKU (12-3, 5-1 SBC) had recently ripped off seven straight wins on the road and five straight in the Sun Belt.
The Lady Toppers were led by their double-double machine, sophomore forward Chastity Gooch, who picked up her thirteenth double-double of the year with a 16-point and 12-assist effort.
Sophomore guard Alexis Govan helped with a 14-point game as she battled through foul trouble and junior guard Chaney Means scored 10 points in just 16 minutes of action.
WKU will have a chance to rebound at home in Diddle Arena on Jan. 12 against Florida Atlantic.
WKU will host its next three games, all against Sun Belt competition, in Bowling Green.

Ive done everything in my power, Ive said it 100 times, to be for the students, Marshall said. So, not only to win, but to hear that reaction for me by the other students is just something that shows people actually care about me [and] really support me.](https://wkuherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jadenmarshall-1200x844.jpg)
