Wofford opened the game with a 9-0 run on a three from Mariah Masalin, Rachel Brittenham jumper and layup, and a Daniella Motley jumper three minutes into the game.  Following a Runnin’ Bulldog basket by Brianna Dillard, Motley knocked down another two to push the Terrier lead to 11-2 at 15:58 remaining in the half.
 
Gardner-Webb mounted a 5-0 run to cut the lead to 11-7 three minutes later, but Lauren Kirby jumper ended the run with a jumper and Morris followed up with a basket to give the Terries a 15-7 lead at the 12-minute mark. 
 
After an Eliana Scanlon layup for the Runnin’ Bulldogs to make it 15-9, the Terriers used an April Moorhouse layup and Morgan Wrightson sparked a 7-0 run as Wofford took a 13-point lead, 22-9, at the seven minute mark.  Gardner-Webb couldn’t cut into the lead over the remaining seven minutes in the half as the Terriers took a 29-17 lead into the break.
 
Wofford was 48 percent from the floor (13-of-27), 30 percent from three and missed on their three free throw attempts.  The Terriers held the Runnin’ Bulldogs to just 26 percent overall (6-of-23).
 
Coming out of the half the Terriers immediately pushed their lead to 14 points, 31-17, on a Moorhouse jumper.  Wofford held the 14-point lead, until Gardner-Webb rallied trailing 35-21 with 16:07 to play and trimmed the Terrier lead down to six points, 36-30, four minutes later.
 
Wofford responded with a 6-0 run sparked by a Morris three that gave the Terriers a 42-30 lead with 10:23 to play in the game.  Wofford’s lead hit 14 points, 48-34, at the seven-minute mark, only to see Gardner-Webb mount a 6-0 run to trim the lead to 48-40 with just over five minutes remaining.
