Spartanburg, S.C. – The Wofford women's basketball team won 77-56 over N.C. Central on Tuesday morning at Richardson Indoor Stadium on Education Day. The Terriers and Eagles struggled to take care of the ball in the first two quarters but Wofford came out of the halftime break outscoring N.C. Central 41-26 in the final two quarters. With the win, Wofford moves to 2-2 on the season.

"First of all, I have got to give Central credit because those first three quarters they battled and stuck with us. I think we were pressing a little bit in the first quarter and we tried to play a little too fast," said head coach Jimmy Garrity. "We took a timeout in the third quarter and I really like the way our players responded to the message in the huddle. Overall it was a great team win today and credit our two guards Chloe and Da'Ja for their performances today."
