BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. -- Tate Walters scored 13 of her 15 points in the second half to power an impressive Furman comeback that put Gardner-Webb on the leash, 73-66, in women's basketball play Wednesday evening at Paul Porter Arena.

Furman (5-3) roared back from a 13-point third quarter deficit by outscoring Gardner-Webb (0-7) in the fourth period, 25-12, to collect the victory — its second in a row.

Walters, who tallied only two points while being whistled for three first half fouls, stepped up with 13 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in the decisive second half.  The redshirt junior guard was joined by four teammates in double figures, led by Jada Session with 16 points, Niveya Henley with 15, Sydney Ryan 14, and Kate Johnson with 13 points.

The Paladins shook off 9-for-36 (.250) shooting in the first half by finding the mark on 13-of-29 shots (.444) over the game's final 20 minutes.  Furman, however, did its biggest damage at the free throw line, outscoring Gardner-Webb by 21 points by knocking down 25-of-34 opportunities.

Trailing 47-34 with 6:20 remaining in the third quarter, Furman cut the Bulldogs' advantage to 54-48 by the end of the period and took its first lead since the first quarter when Johnson took an across the lane feed from Session for a layup that put the Paladins up, 59-58, with 4:01 left.

On its next trip down the court Johnson tallied again off a Walters dish, and Henley closed a 9-0 Paladin run with a 3-pointer at the 2:41 mark for a 64-58 Paladin advantage.

Gardner-Webb, which connected on 6-of-15 3-pointers in the first half, went 0-for-9 from beyond the arc in the fourth quarter.

Session, who entered the game averaging a double-double in points and rebounds, kept pace by claiming a game high 12 rebounds, and Ryan also went for a double-double with 11 caroms.  Henley just missed making it a double-double trifecta by tallying nine rebounds.

The Paladins finished the contest with a 51-37 advantage on the glass.
