CHATTANOOGA, TENN. -- Keiana Gilbert scored a game high 19 points and Chattanooga took advantage of 21 Furman turnovers in cruising to a 67-45 Southern Conference victory in women's basketball action Saturday afternoon at UTC Arena.

The win marked the 13th straight triumph for Chattanooga (17-3, 5-0 SoCon) and 39th consecutive league victory for the Mocs, who also completed the regular season sweep of Furman (12-9, 1-5 SoCon).

Holli Wilkins scored 18 points to pace Furman, which struggled against a stout UTC defense that converted the Paladins' turnovers into 26 points.  So effective was the Mocs' defense that UTC committed just one foul in the first half and avoided its second infraction whistle until nearly 23 minutes of action had transpired.

Gilbert, who drained 9-of-10 field goal attempts for her 19 points, was followed in the scoring column by Chelsey Shumpert with 13 points, and Jasmine Joyner finished with 12.  Ka'Vonne Towns converted 3-of-5 3-point attempts to finish with 11 points.

Furman shot 50.0 percent from the field for the game, connecting on 19-of-38 attempts, but the 21 turnovers allowed Chattanooga to let fly with 23 more shots (28-of-61) than the Paladins.  The Mocs also outscored Furman 18-3 from 3-point range, ripping the nets on 6-of-14 treys.

Trailing 30-19 at the break, the Paladins opened the second half with a Brittany Hodges basket before Gilbert converted a layup and a 3-pointer followed by a Towns 3-pointer for a 8-0 spurt that put the Mocs up, 38-21.

Another Towns' 3-pointer at the 14:47 mark finished off an 11-2 UTC run and put the Mocs in total control, 49-23.

Furman ended the game with 28-27 rebounding advantage, led by Hodges' seven caroms.

The Paladins return home to entertain Wofford on Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. in an ESPN3 televised contest.
