The Wofford women's basketball team fought hard Saturday afternoon inside Stabler Arena, but the late push to come back fell just short as the Terriers lost 69-64 to the Lehigh Mountain Hawks. Wofford drops to 6-4 on the season as Lehigh improves to 8-3. The Terriers won the glass, 39-30, and owned a significant advantage on the offensive boards with 16 to Lehigh's seven.Chattanooga women's basketball wrapped up its non-conference season with a rout on Saturday in front of the McKenzie Arena faithful, after the Mocs demolished Salem University 93-34 in UTC's final game of the 2024 calendar year. While an early three-point basket by the Tigers gave Salem a 3-2 lead just under a minute into the game, a Gianna Corbitt three that followed immediately after gave Chattanooga a lead that it would not lose again for the remainder of the day.Home-standing Mercer canned better than 65 percent of its field goal attempts amid a torrid second-half shooting effort, but visiting Appalachian State limited the Bears to just a trio of made field goals in the first stanza on the way to a 74-61 win over the Orange & Black on Saturday in Hawkins Arena. The setback marked the fifth-straight loss for the Bears (4-10) who will now get an 8-day break from competition before closing out the calendar year at Kennesaw State on December 30. The triumph snapped a three-game skid for the Mountaineers (4-6) who improved to 5-1 all-time in the series with MU.
East Tennessee State University women's basketball was unable to overcome a 16-point halftime deficit and came up short, 67-54, at Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday. Senior guard Kendall Folley led the Bucs with her best performance of the season, scoring 25 points on 10-for-18 shooting and 2-for-3 shooting from behind the arc, hitting her first 3-pointers in over a month. 5th year guard Courtney Moore played all 40 minutes and added 18 points.
