CLINTON, S.C. – Senior Spencer Collins matched a season-high with 21 points, including a crucial 3-ball down the stretch, to lead the Wofford men's basketball team to its first road win of the year, 68-58, Saturday night against Presbyterian College.
 
With Wofford clinging to a four-point lead in the final minutes, junior Jaylen Allen was fouled and sent to the line for two shots. He missed both, but senior C.J. Neumann came up with rebound and Collins knocked down a triple to extend the lead back to seven.

Collins hit another big 3-pointer a minute later and two free throws from senior Justin Gordon put Wofford (2-3) back in front by 10.
 
"We showed some resolve, made some foul shots and found a way to win," said head coach Mike Young. "I'll take a 10-point win on the road any day of the week."

The Terriers made just 18 field goals in the game, including only six in the second half. They made up for it by getting to the foul line and sinking 26 of their 34 attempts.
 
Gordon joined Collins in double figures with 11 points. Junior point guard Eric Garcia tallied a game-high four assists in what was the first game at the Templeton Center between Wofford and Presbyterian in exactly 21 years. The Terriers also won the last meeting, 76-73, on November 28, 1994.
 
Cameron Jackson, playing in his first game of the season after sitting out the first four with an injury, was big off the bench. The 6-foot-8 forward gathered a career-high seven rebounds in only 15 minutes, helping the Terriers outduel PC 36-28 on the glass. Jackson's impact was felt immediately, scoring 11 seconds after he entered the game with PC in front 10-3. On the next Blue Hose possession, he came up with a steal. Minutes later, the Terriers completed a 9-0 run with their first lead of the game.
 
"Cameron Jackson gave us a shot in the arm," added Young. "We outscored them by a significant margin after the first four minutes to go in up 12 at the half."
 
Wofford outscored Presbyterian 25-6 over a 10-minute stretch. They remained in front by a dozen at the half with Collins leading the way with 10 points.
 
DeSean Murray kept PC in the game. The sophomore ended the night with a game-high 24 points and started a 9-1 Blue Hose run to open the second half. It drew Presbyterian within four.
 
"Murray is terrific. He's got a good game, he's tough and he gets to the line a lot," said Young. "We needed to limit his opportunities at the line and we did that in the second half."
 
Murray did not make a single trip to the foul line in the second half and the Terriers forced him into six turnovers.
 
Wofford scored more points at the charity stripe than they did from the field in the final 20 minutes. Three of the six field goals the Terriers did connect on were from three. They ended the night 6-of-14 from beyond the arc (43 percent), while PC struggled to finish 2-for-16 (12.5 percent).
 
Presbyterian got to within a single possession on a 3-pointer by Ed Drew, 48-45, with 6:54 to play. Wofford put an end to any thoughts of a comeback by scoring seven of the next 10 points, grabbing a 55-48 lead on Collins' key 3-pointer.
 
The Terriers are in Atlanta on Tuesday, where they will take on Georgia Tech for the first time since 2001. Tip is set for 7 p.m., at McCamish Pavilion.
