Cold Shooting Furman Falls At ETSU, 62-50

No. 6 Seed Paladins To Face No. 3 Buccaneers In Thursday SoCon Tournament First Round

JOHNSON CITY, TENN. -- Courtney Moore scored 20 points, including 14 in the second half, to power East Tennessee State to a 62-50 victory over Furman in the Southern Conference women's basketball regular season finale for both teams Saturday at Brooks Gymnasium.

The win gave East Tennessee State (17-12, 8-6 SoCon) the season sweep of Furman (15-15, 5-9 SoCon) and the No. 3 seed in the next week's SoCon Tournament, set to get underway on Thursday at Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville, N.C.  The Buccaneers will face No. 6 seed Furman again in a 3:30 p.m. first round matchup.

Moore connected of 6-of-13 shots, including 3-of-7 3-pointers, and converted 5-of-6 free throws for her 20 points, leading a trio of Buccaneers in double figures that included Kendall Foley with 12 points and Braylyn Milton with 11 points.

Furman was paced by Jada Session with 15 points, and Clare Coyle finished with 10.

The Paladins suffered with poor shooting in the contest, connecting on just 19-of-60 attempts from the field (31.4%) and only 2-of-15 from 3-point range.  The Paladins didn't help themselves at the free throw line, either, putting down only 10-of-17 chances.

Despite outrebounding ETSU, 43-38, Furman scored only eight second chance points following 17 offensive rebounds.

The Paladins trailed 42-39 deficit after three periods but saw ETSU reel off eight consecutive points to start the fourth quarter on 3-pointers by Folley and by Moore, who also drained two free throws that keyed the run for a 50-39 lead two minutes into the fourth quarter.

Furman failed to make a run the rest of the way.

The Buccaneers outscored 24-6 from 3-point range, dialing in 8-of-22 chances and finished the contest shooting 36.5 percent (19x52) from the field.

The contest was yet another whistle-fest featuring 45 fouls, with four players (two from each team) fouling out and two others completing the contest with four fouls.
