SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Wofford women’s basketball team leaned on their most efficient output from the floor, 55 percent, to improve to 4-4 overall with an 83-36 win over Bluefield College Sunday afternoon in Ben Johnson Arena.

The Terriers were 55 percent over and 46 percent from the three point line, as they held the Rams to 18 percent from the floor and 12 percent from three.  Both marks for the Rams were season lows for a Wofford opponent, and both offensive marks for the Terriers were season-highs.

With the win, it is the first time the Terriers have improved to .500 through eight games since the 2007-2008 season.

Bluefield won the opening jump ball, but Rachel Brittenham forced a turnover as April Moorhouse scored the games for the basket on the other end for Wofford. The Terriers are 4-0 when scoring first on opponents.  On the next possession for the Rams a missed layup by Celinda Arrington provided Mahagony Williams with her 700th rebound.   She becomes only the fifth Terrier all-time to collect 700 career rebounds.  Williams finished the game with eight rebounds giving her 707 career rebounds.

Williams notched Wofford next basket as the Terriers opened the game with a 9-0 run before the Rams notched a bucket to make it 9-2 at the 15:57 mark.  Seven of Moorhouse’s 13 points came during the run.

Five minutes later a Logan Morris layup gave the Terriers nine point lead, 16-7, and with six and a half minutes left to play in the half a Moorhouse basket pushed the Wofford lead to 22-9.  

The Terriers would close the half on 21-6 run to take a 43-15 lead into the break.  Daniella Motley capped the run with a jumper at the buzzer.

After the break, Wofford quickly ran the lead to 40, 67-27, midway through the half as they closed the game with an 83-36 win.

Williams led all scorers with 18 points.  Williams currently sits with 957 points shy of her quest to become the 12th Terrier to score 1,000 points. She needs 20 points to move into 12th place all time in the scoring record books. She would be only the fifth Wofford player all-time to grab 700 rebounds and score 1,000 points.  Williams has notched double-digit points in six of the Terriers seven games this season and ten of her last 11 games dating back to last season.  The only game she hasn’t scored in double-digits was the team’s 2010-11 opener when she scored nine points.

Moorhouse followed with her 13 points, and Morris added 12 points to continue the Terriers streak of placing a freshman in double-digit points in seven of the teams first eight games.  Morris has now scored ten plus points in her last three games.  Mariah Masalin added a season-high eight points going 3-of-3 from the floor including 2-for-2 from three.  Rachel Brittenham passed out five assists, and had five steals.

Wofford travel to UNC Greensboro Saturday for a 2 p.m. tipoff and a chance to open Southern Conference play 2-0 for the first time since joining the conference in 1997-1998.
