Box Score (PDF)

RICHMOND, Ky.
– Despite junior Jasmine Henshaw's career day, the Eastern Kentucky University women's basketball team fell to Tennessee Tech, 84-71, in its season finale in McBrayer Arena on Saturday afternoon.
 
Tennessee Tech (6-23, 3-13 OVC) went 27-of-34 (79.4 percent) from the free throw line to help propel them past the Colonels.
 
Foul trouble plagued the Colonels throughout the game, as EKU's top-five scorers picked up two fouls each in the first half. The Colonels matched a season-high with 29 fouls in the game.
 
Henshaw, however, was a bright spot for the Colonels, setting new career highs in points (16), assists (4) and steals (4).  Junior Shameekia Murray continued her recent hot streak, leading the Colonels in scoring with 17 points.
 
The Colonels used a 12-2 run to start the second half that put them ahead, 43-41. From there Tennessee Tech hit 16-of-20 second half free throws that helped negate the Colonels' 30-12 bench-points advantage.
 
TTU junior Samaria Howard led the team in scoring with 25 points. She went 7-of-8 at the free throw line.
 
EKU finishes the 2014-15 season with a record of 9-17 (4-12 OVC).
