HUNTINGTON, W.V. (November 10, 2026) -
Zoe Stewart (Terre Haute, Ind.) scored a team-high 18 points and
Jada Kendrick (Thomson, Ga.) added 11 points off the bench, but it was not enough as the Howard University women's basketball team (1-2) fell, 76-66, to Marshall University in a nonconference contest at the Cam Henderson Center.
The Bison fell behind early and trailed at the half. But Howard would rally on the scoring of Kendrick,
Dally Moreno (Bronx, N.Y.),
Rayne Durant (New Haven, Conn.) and
Destiny Bynum-Johnson (Newark, N.J.) to cut the deficit to 10 points, 53-43, at the end of three quarters.
Howard would cut the lead to single digits late in the final stanza.
The Thundering Herd (3-0) got some key baskets from Olivia Olsen, who led all scorers with 20 points, and Maddie Moody and Ni'Kiah Chesterfield combined for 27 points.
The Bison had woes shooting the basketball. Stewart connected on 6-of-15, but the other four starters combined to miss 16-of-24 from the field.
Howard, one of its better rebounding teams in recent years, was outworked by the host, 45-32. And the Bison, who usually take care of the ball, gave up 23 points to Marshall off their miscues.
In addition to her 11 points, Kendrick grabbed seven rebounds.
It must be noted that the Bison played their second straight game without the services of senior forward
Sa'lah Hemingway (San Bernardino, Calif.), who is out with an injury.
NEXT UP: Howard travels to Ames, Iowa to take on Iowa State Thursday (Nov. 12) at 7:30 p.m. (ET).
