SPARTANBURG, S.C. – As the team celebrated Senior Day, the Wofford College women's basketball team set a new record for points scored in their Division I era, beating the UNCG Spartans 104-64 Saturday afternoon in Benjamin Johnson Arena.
 
The Terriers (9-17, 3-9 SoCon) set season-highs in points scored, rebounds (47), field goal percentage (56.7) and free throws made (30-33) in the victory. The 104 points is the most since December 14, 2001 vs. Limestone (102 points) and was two shy of the all-time record set November 16, 1988 against Morris College. The 56.7 percent shooting from the field was the best for the team in a game since the Terriers faced UNCG (9-20, 0-13 SoCon) last season at home when the team shot 56.9 percent and is seventh-best in a game ever.
 
"Coaches always talk about playing your best basketball at the right time or peaking at the right moment, and today I felt like it all came together," Head Coach Edgar I. Farmer, Jr., said after the game. "It started on Thursday, and we had a good day of prep yesterday and we understood it was going to take a committed, team effort. I thought the team did a phenomenal job being on one accord, one wavelength and it was great to see."
 
Up 48-34 at halftime, the Terriers scored 33 points alone in the third period, going on a 19-0 run over four minutes in the period to push their lead to 81-48 going into the final period. Wofford hit the century mark with 2:15 left in the game on a Amoshia Blakeney jumper, and guard Emily Ryan made a layup on next possession to tie the points scored record.
 
Five Terriers scored in double figures, led by forward Kentra Washington who scored a game-high 21 points on 9-19 shooting to go with six rebounds, a career-high three blocks, two steals and an assist. She has now scored in double-figures in eight straight games, averaging 19.0 ppg over that stretch.
 
Guard Maria Corella had 20 points on 6-9 shooting, including 3-6 from three-point range to go with three rebounds, one assist and a steal. Forward Grayson Pinholster chipped in 13 points and a game-high eight rebounds to go with two blocks and two assists, while Blakeney added 10 points off the bench.
 
Wofford finished the game with 17 assists, 14 steals and five blocks total.
 
"Our communication, sharing the basketball, getting great shots, withstanding their runs and then going on runs of our own, I thought it was a phenomenal team effort today," Farmer said.
 
Three of the four seniors in guards Chanel Stokes, Jordan Frazier and Ashton Fleming started in the game, with the fourth senior, forward Khadijah Joyner, getting an honorary start despite being sidelined with a knee injury. Fleming led the seniors with 12 points, seven rebounds, and career-highs in steals (5) and assists (4) while going a perfect 4-4 from the field and at the line. Stokes and Frazier each had eight points, with Stokes adding three rebounds and three assists and Frazier contributing two steals, a rebound and an assist.
 
"The seniors have really done a fantastic job for our program over these four years," Farmer said. "Today was a culmination of that. You could not pick a better way to send out four great people as well as players. They have been doing a lot of great things for this program over the last four seasons, and I'm really happy for all of them to have played their final home game here in Benjamin Johnson Arena and finish out with a win."
 
UNCG shot 38.1 percent from the floor in the game and committed 27 turnovers, which led to 27 Wofford points off turnovers. Spartans guard Lucy Mason had a team-high 18 points on 6-17 shooting, while guard Shanese Harris and forward India Timpton each had a team-high four rebounds.
 
The Terriers win moves them to 8-6 at home for the season with no more games scheduled in Ben Johnson Arena for 2016. It also is the second consecutive win over the Spartans and the fourth in their last six meetings.
 
Wofford goes on the road next week for their final two regular season games. The Terriers first play Mercer Thursday at 7 p.m. followed by a trip to Samford to close out conference play, with that game tipping at 6 p.m. Central time, 7 p.m. Eastern time.
