Women’s Basketball Stymied by Coastal Carolina

Spartanburg, S.C. – In a game which saw Wofford with the lead for nearly 32:00 minutes, and the better shooting percentage at 42.4%, the Terriers were unable to get past the Chanticleers as they fell 78-73.

Wofford started the game out strong, going on an 8-2 run during a 3:40 stretch. Wanink, McDavid and Booker had the baskets and it was a promising start going into the media timeout. Out of the timeout, Alexis Tomlin made a pair of shots which extended the lead to 12-6. A couple of Booker free-throws and a step-back jumper by Hatton had Wofford leading at the end of the 1st quarter, 16-10.

Coastal Carolina found themselves on the end of an 8-0 run until the Terriers began to fire back. Da'Ja Green made a contested shot from just outside the paint and Wanink buried a 3-pointer to give Wofford a six-point cushion with 6:10 to play in the half. Wanink then made an "And-1", and Cook made a pair of eight-foot shots to give Wofford a 35-34 lead going into halftime.

The Terriers continued to push on with their lead into the 3rd quarter, with Wanink drilling another three, Green following up with an "And-1", and Cook dropping a fast break layup to give the team a 52-46 lead with just over three minutes left in the quarter. The Terriers found themselves up by nine after a 9-2 run near the end of the 3rd quarter.

The Chanticleers would not back down as they managed a 10-1 run up to the media timeout, which saw them with the 68-66 lead. Wofford fought back, breaking a four point lead and tying the score at 72 apiece with 1:43 to play. However, the Terriers would be edged in the final minute, falling to a final score of 78-73.

Four Terriers ended with double-digit scoring; Chloe Wanink who led the team with 18, while Jamari McDavid, Cairo Booker, and Lawren Cook all had 10. Booker added a season-high seven assists, while Cook played a career-high 16 minutes.

"I give Coastal a lot of credit for coming in and doing the little things that they needed to do to win," said Garrity. "We have to do a better job of taking care of the ball. It's tough to win when you turn the ball over 20 times, but we won't make any excuses. We win together and lose together. We will watch this film and learn from it. We have another big game at home against another tough opponent in Longwood. It will take our best effort to win."
 
Wofford will play host to Longwood on Wednesday, November 20 at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m.
