Left with no other option, Karsen Murphy knew she needed to get a shot off.

As it turns out, the only play available was also a great idea.

Murphy made sure of it.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga forward knocked down her second 3 of the game with 1:05 remaining in Sunday’s matchup with Eastern Kentucky at McKenzie Arena, stretching a one-point lead out and allowing the Mocs to pull away for a 52-44 victory, their ninth consecutive win of the season.

Now 11-1, the Mocs will travel to Cherokee, North Carolina, to play in the Cherokee Invitational on Wednesday and Thursday. UTC faces Coastal Carolina (5-6) at 7 p.m. Wednesday, and then will play either Michigan State (8-2) or Richmond (9-2) — those teams face off in Wednesday’s late matchup — the following day.
