By the half the ladies were winning by 10 points, 26-16; increasing their win to a 15 point victory over the Catamounts.
“We are excited to get the double-digit win tonight,” Head Coach Nancy Wilson said. “Western Carolina is going through some struggles right now, but it was nice to see our team step up and take advantage of the opportunity.”

Following her was junior Megan Fischer with nine points and sophomore Jillian Brown with eight points and eight rebounds. Junior Latisha Harris also had a great showing for the Cougars with seven points and seven rebounds.
The Cougars blasted out of the gates during the second half with a three-pointer from sophomore Alyssa Frye and a layup by Fischer. The Cougars were able to hold this lead by at least 10 points for the rest of the way to victory.
