The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball team appeared to have the College of Charleston put away a couple of times Saturday, but the Cougars didn’t go down easy.
The Lady Mocs held off a late charge and defeated the Cougars 64-53 Saturday night at McKenzie Arena. Jenaya Wade-Fray led UTC with 14 points and eight rebounds and Shanara Hollinquest added 13 points and eight rebounds.
The Lady Mocs led the entire game and took a 33-24 advantage into halftime. The lead was as high as 16, 27-11 after a Wade-Fray 3-pointer late in the first half, but the Cougars were able to stay within reach because of 17 UTC turnovers and five 3s by Jade Hughes, who scored a game-high 18 points.
