Furman (2-5) led Clemson 33-31 at the half before the Tigers rode 64.3 percent shooting in the second half to claim the victory.

Junior guard Lauren Bailey, a transfer from Gardner-Webb, paced the Paladins with 16 points on 5-for-5 shooting from 3-point range, and sophomore guard Chantelle Stuart followed with 13 points, hitting both attempts from beyond the arc to help key Furman's best 3-point shooting effort (8x11) on the young season.

The Paladins sport three double figure scorers in a trio of sophomores — forward Clare Coyle (11.4 ppg) and guards Raina McGowens (10.3 ppg) and Alyssa Ervin (10.1 ppg).   Coyle also tops the squad in rebounding (6.9 rpg).

Furman, which lost all five starters off last year's squad, has struggled with turnovers so far this season with 159 miscues (22.7 avg.).

UNC Asheville (2-4) is coming off an 80-54 home loss to Wofford on Tuesday.

The Bulldogs own a 67-50 road win over Western Carolina and a 48-39 home setback to Mercer.

Furman's three-game home stand will conclude on Wednesday versus Presbyterian.
