Kylie Lambert’s 3 from the top of the key put UTC up 77-71 with less than 4 minutes to play and broke the previous school and league record of 15 3s.
Whitney Hood, the SoCon player of the week, had 23 points to lead all scorers. Kayla Christopher made 5 of 9 3s and finished with a career-high 21 points. Tenisha Townsend scored 17.
