Notes
Trailing by seven points with 6:23 remaining in the third quarter, Wofford clamped down defensively to spark a 19-0 scoring run and hold on for the 68-63 win. The Terriers advance to the Southern Conference championship game with the victory. … This is Wofford’s second-ever title game appearance, both occurring in the last three seasons. With 22 wins, the Terriers are one shy of matching their program record of 23, set in the 1992-93 season. … Rose set a new program record by scoring double-digits for the 17th straight game. This tops the previous mark of 16 set by teammate, Jackie Carman earlier this season. “That’s the first I’m hearing of it; I had no idea,” Rose said in a recap posted on the university’s athletic website. “The most special thing about this team is we want to win. It doesn’t matter whose night it is. We want to win.” … Rose and teammate, Annabelle Schultz each had 7 steals for the Terriers.
