If you missed Wednesday night, the Lady Toppers beat Chattanooga 61-50 in the season opener. They led 11-2 after the first quarter. Chattanooga tied it at 35-35 in the third, and WKU moved back ahead 43-37 on a Josie Gilvin catch-and-shoot. Most of the late scoring came at the free-throw line, and Jamila Ray made all of hers.
