Archdeacon: Dynamic Duo leads Wright State women

They took a basketball game and turned it into a comic book caper.

“They’re Batman and Robin,” said Wright State coach Katrina Merriweather. “Sometimes one is Batman, sometimes it’s the other. It kind of depends how the game goes. But together, they’re Batman and Robin.”

And Thursday night at the Nutter Center one did wear a mask and the other had “the kitchen sink” thrown at her and in true Batman fashion – POW!…BAP!!…ZOK!!! – it didn’t slow her down in the least.

If it sounds like the stuff of superheroes, well, that’s the way Wright State guards Angel Baker and Michal Miller played it in the second half against Northern Kentucky.

Baker had 29 points, 13 in the third quarter alone.

Miller — playing just 25 minutes because of her chronic foot problems — had 16 points, seven in the fourth quarter.

Their combined 45 points were the reason the Raiders pushed aside NKU, 79-69.
