Sophomore forward Clare Coyle, a Jacksonville, Fla., native, led the way against PC with 18 points and 10 rebounds — her second double-double of the season.  The preseason All-SoCon performer tops the Paladins in scoring (12.4 ppg) and rebounding (7.3 rpg).

Newcomer Alyssa Ervin, a sophomore guard transfer from Elon, is contributing 11.2 points per game off the bench and is coming off a 15-point performance, including 12 in the second half versus PC,

Lauren Bailey (6.7 ppg), a junior guard transfer from Gardner-Webb, has found the mark on 13 of 24 3-point attempts (.541) over the last four games.

Freshman point guard Sophia Pearl has contributed 22 points and eight steals in two starts in place of the injured Chantelle Stuart (6.4 ppg, 34 ast.).  Head coach Pierre Curtis has also had to game plan the last two outings without the services of injured sophomore forward Channing Warren (5.0 ppg).

Furman has struggled with turnovers in the early going but sliced the tally to 18 in each of the last two outings while forcing UNC Asheville and Presbyterian into a combined 50 miscues.

The Paladins defeated Sun Belt Conference member Georgia State, 90-89, in overtime in Greenville on Nov. 13.
