Catamounts Begin Three-Game Home Stand Hosting Wofford Thursday

SoCon home opener against Terriers

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Western Carolina women's basketball begins a three-game home stand Thursday hosting Wofford at 7 p.m. in the Catamounts' Southern Conference home opener.

Once again, this season, WCU Athletics will implement a clear bag policy for all home men's and women's basketball games in the Ramsey Center. Only standard clear bags, 12-inches by 6-inches by 12-inches in size, small purses approximately 4.5-inches by 5-inches not including the strap, and clear gallon-size storage bags are permitted. Diaper bags (child must be present upon entry) and any medical-related bags will be allowed.  
AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE CATAMOUNTS:
  • Western Carolina and Wofford meet for the 59th time on Thursday with holding a 35-23 advantage. The Terriers have won both games in the 2021-22 season over the Catamounts and have taken eight of the last 10 meetings. The Catamounts split with the Terriers in the 2020-21 season winning in Cullowhee, on Jan. 23, 2021, 65-54. Western Carolina is 18-11 at home over Wofford.
  • Mya Love has scored in double figures in back-to-back games leading the team in scoring at Samford (15) and at Mercer (17).  It is the fourth time this season Love has scored in double figures in consecutive games.
  • Love (32) and Allison (28) together have scored 60 of the Catamounts' 87 points in conference only games. Love is averaging 16 points per game and Allison 14 per contets in the first two SoCon games.
  • Allison leads the team averaging 13.0 points per game and has scored in double figures 11 times this year. Her 13 points per game rank ninth in the SoCon.

AN INSIDE LOOK AT WOFFORD:
  • Wofford has won 11 of its last 13 games and got off to a 10-4 start in non-conference play this season, which is the 12th time Wofford has tallied at least a .500 non-conference mark, and it's just the ninth winning non-conference record.
  • This is also the earliest Wofford has reached double-digit wins in a season in its Division I history, doing so in 14 games to top the previous mark of 15, set twice prior. It's the first time in Wofford's D-I era that the Terriers reached 10 wins before the calendar flipped to the new year.
  • Wofford has utilized balanced scoring attacks all season. At least three Terriers have scored in double figures in every game but three so far. The exceptions are at No. 8 UNC, at Bellarmine and, at Tennessee.
  • Wofford is currently receiving votes in the CollegeInsider.com Women's Mid-Major Top 25. This is the second consecutive week that the Terriers are listed among others receiving votes.
