JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Wofford College women's basketball guard Maria Corella had a good look at a three-pointer to tie Thursday's game at East Tennessee State University on Wofford's final possession, but her shot missed its mark as the Bucs took a 70-69 victory over the Terriers at Brooks Gym.
 
The Terriers (7-15, 1-7 SoCon) faced a 51-45 deficit to start the final period, but guard Jordan Frazier's three pointer with :53 seconds left tied the game at 67-67. The Bucaneers (13-10, 5-3 SoCon) drew fouls on their next two possessions and forward Raven Dean made 3-4 free throws to give the Bucs a three-point lead with :16 seconds left.
 
After a Wofford timeout, the Terriers drew up a play that had Corella swing off a screen behind the three-point line. She fired up a shot from the left wing that grazed the rim however. Forward Kentra Washington was able to make a putback layup, but time expired as the shot went through the net.
 
Wofford battled ETSU throughout the game. The Terriers came back from a five-point deficit late in the second period, going on a 7-0 run to close the half with guard Amoshia Blakeney hitting a jumper in the lane to give Wofford a 29-27 halftime lead.
 
The Terriers kept the momentum going to start the second half, racing out on a 6-0 run to start the third period and take a 37-29 lead. ETSU however climbed back over the next two minutes to tie the game after guard Tianna Tarter hit a layup with 5:18 in the period.
 
The Bucs themselves would go on a 9-0 run at the end of the third and beginning the fourth period, eventually stretching their lead to 60-49 with 7:05 left in the game.
 
Starting with four Chanel Stokes free throws, the Terriers fought back and held ETSU scoreless over the next minute while cutting the deficit to four points. ETSU maintained a similar margin until Frazier's three that tied the game late.
