Saturday's Women's Basketball Roundup

ETSU 62, Furman 50
East Tennessee State University women's basketball used a 20-point performance from 5th year guard Courtney Moore to down Furman, 62-50, on Saturday. The Bucs honored their four seniors – Moore, Kendall Folley, Braylyn Milton and Isabella Hunt – before the game, and all four made an impact in their final game at Brooks Gymnasium. Hunt played a season high 27 minutes and led ETSU with eight rebounds, Folley scored 12 with three assists, and Milton added 11 points. 

Courtney Moore scored 20 points, including 14 in the second half, to power East Tennessee State to a 62-50 victory over Furman in the Southern Conference women's basketball regular season finale for both teams Saturday at Brooks Gymnasium. The win gave East Tennessee State (17-12, 8-6 SoCon) the season sweep of Furman (15-15, 5-9 SoCon) and the No. 3 seed in the next week's SoCon Tournament, set to get underway on Thursday at Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville, N.C.  The Buccaneers will face No. 6 seed Furman again in a 3:30 p.m. first round matchup.

Chattanooga 69, Wofford 61
Chattanooga women's basketball knew it only had one path to the No. 2 seed of the SoCon Tournament: beat Wofford. That made Saturday's Senior Day that much sweeter for the Mocs (14-13, 9-5 SoCon) when UTC rolled its way through the Terriers enroute to a 69-61 victory, clinching a second-place finish for the Mocs in the final league standings. By clinching the No. 2 seed, Coach Schirmer becomes just the third head coach in program history to have led the Mocs to a top-two seed in the SoCon Tournament in their first season at the helm of Chattanooga women's basketball. She joins Shawn Poppie and Jim Foster on the elite list.

The Wofford women's basketball team closed out its regular season slate with a hard-fought effort inside McKenzie Arena Saturday afternoon, but the Terriers were unable to best Chattanooga, falling 69-61. The Terriers end the regular season at 16-11 (8-6 SoCon) as the Mocs improve to 14-13 (9-5 SoCon). Chattanooga outshot Wofford on the day, posting a 46.4 percent clip (26-of-56) to Wofford's 29.9 percent mark (20-of-67). Both teams made nine threes. The Terriers owned the glass, 46-29, and held a 21-4 offensive rebounding advantage. Wofford secured a season-high 24 second chance points while holding the Mocs to just three.

UNCG 76, Mercer 37
The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) women's basketball team concluded the 2024-25 Regular Season on Saturday afternoon with a dominating 76-37 win over the Mercer Bears at Hawkins Arena in The Southern Conference (SoCon) action.

In addition, UNCG's win over Mercer extended the team's winning streak to 11. The last time the Spartans tallied an 11-game win streak was in the 1996-97 season from Jan. 22 to Feb. 28.
