Shanara Hollinquest had 19 points and 13 rebounds and Jenaya Wade-Fray added 17 points to lead the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball team to a 65-54 win over Davidson on Monday night at McKenzie Arena.
About 30 minutes later, Appalachian State knocked off Samford 66-55 in Birmingham, Ala., to guarantee the Lady Mocs at least a share of the Southern Conference regular-season title. That’s 11 in a row for UTC, which has a two-game lead in the standings with two games to play.
The Lady Mocs led by as many 21 points in the second half before the Wildcats rallied and got as close as seven in the closing minutes.
The win also earns UTC its 11th consecutive 20-win season.
