SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Furman's women's basketball team couldn't rise above the freezing outside temperature in a 69-51 loss to Wofford in Southern Conference play Saturday afternoon at Richardson Indoor Stadium.

Furman (11-8, 1-2 SoCon), which entered the game shooting 33.6 percent from 3-point range, missed its first 17 3-point attempts and finished the game just 2-for-26 from beyond the arc on the way to a season low 30.6 percent shooting effort (19x62).  The loss was the second straight for the Paladins in a stretch of three SoCon season opening road contests.

Wofford (10-7, 2-1 SoCon) fared only slightly better in the shooting department, hitting on just 24-of-69 shots (34.6%) and managing just a 47-41 lead through three periods until gaping the game open in the fourth quarter.

The Terriers' Rachel Rose paced the Terriers with a triple double, registering 19 points along with 16 rebounds and 11 of Wofford's 11 assists.  Evangelia Paulk followed with 18 points and 10 rebounds.  Annabelle Schultz finished with 13 points, and Indiya Clarke had 12. 

Niveya Henley was the lone Paladin to reach double figures with 13 points.

The Paladins suffered 21 turnovers in the contest, which turned into a whistle-fest for much of the second half as Furman was called for 24 fouls and Wofford 19.

Furman managed to claim a 44-39 rebounding edge on the strength of 15 boards by Jada Session, one shy of her career high.

The Paladins trailed 49-45 two minutes into the fourth quarter when Wofford fashioned a 17-0 run over a span of 5:37 to render the game's verdict.

Furman tips off its SoCon home season on Thursday when it plays host to Samford in a 7:00 p.m. contest at Timmons Arena.
