CLINTON, S.C. - A cold-shooting night paired with a large rebounding deficit would plague the Terriers, falling 61-50 to Presbyterian at the Templeton Center on Friday night. The Terriers were held to 30 percent shooting (18-60 FG) from the field and went 1-of-11 from beyond the arc on the night. The loss drops Wofford to 1-3 overall while Presbyterian moves their record to 1-2. 

Presbyterian jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter, holding the Terriers scoreless through the first nine minutes of play. The Blue Hose capitalized on Wofford's four turnovers in the quarter, turning defense into offense in transition with a pair of 3-pointers from Shamani Stafford and layups in the paint from Salina Virola and Bria Gibbs. Da'Ja Green capped Presbyterian's 12-0 run, stealing a pass to connect on a pull-up elbow jumper with 43 seconds left to make the score 12-2 by the end of the quarter. 

The Terriers started the second quarter with a Jamari McDavid jumper to make the score 12-4, as both teams went on to trade baskets, with the Terriers seeing a pair of scores from McDavid and Green. Presbyterian's Kacie Hall would go on her own 8-0 run with two threes and a jumper to push the Blue Hose lead to 21-11 at the 3:19 mark. Jackie Carman would knock down a jumper before Hall would explode for two more 3-pointers to give the Blue Hose its largest lead of the half at 27-13. Fouled on a last shot opportunity, a pair of Chloe Wanink free throws would cut the deficit to 27-15 to end the half. 

Wofford came out the half aggressive, immediately forcing a steal for a Da'Ja Green layup. The Terriers showed resilience, creeping back on a pair of Cairo Booker free throws in addition to a Wanink jumper that would push the score to 29-21. Coming out of a timeout, Hall buried another three to extend the lead to 11 at the 4:56 mark. Both teams would go on to trade baskets for the duration of the period, as a Presbyterian layup would give the Blue Hose a 38-29 edge heading into the fourth quarter. 

The Terriers battled hard, trading baskets on collaborative efforts from Booker, McDavid, Carman, and Wanink, however, Presbyterian was persistent being able to maintain an at least 10-point lead for a majority of the frame. Wofford would end the game fouling and forcing the Blue Hose to earn points from the charity stripe, though, Presbyterian would prevail and hang on for the 61-50 win at the end of regulation. 

Wofford held Presbyterian to 21-of-57 shooting (37 percent) from the field, though, the Blue Hose dominated the boards, out-rebounding Wofford by 21, 52-31. 

Jamari McDavid led the Terriers with 15 points (6-13 FG) and three rebounds, while Cairo Booker followed behind with eight points and four rebounds. Wofford also received efforts from Jackie Carman (eight points, one rebound, one assist), Da'Ja Green (six points, three assists), Chloe Wanink (six points, two rebounds), and Marissa Bayer (four points, 10 rebounds).
