By Katherine Jamtgaard for App State Sports. SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The App State women’s basketball team (2-5) faced a tough Wofford (6-2) squad on Saturday, falling to the Terriers, 71-42, on the road.
Freshman Chaé Harris was the Mountaineers’ top scorer, netting 13 points on the afternoon. She also matched graduate student Lauren Carter and sophomore Mariah Frazier with a team-high five rebounds. Redshirt senior Janay Sanders scored the second-most points for App State with 11. Twenty of the Mountaineers’ points were scored off the bench.
After a dry first quarter for the Black and Gold, Harris sunk back-to-back threes to cut into Wofford’s lead in the second. Shortly after, Harris found her way to the hoop for a layup, tallying eight of her 13 points in the second quarter alone.
Wofford’s hot shooting and strong rebounding throughout the game propelled them to a 29-point lead at the close of the third period. Jackie Carman, Lilly Hatton, and Rachael Rose combined for 42 of the Terriers’ points on the afternoon.
