ASHEVILLE, N.C. (Interstat) — The Wofford Terriers, propelled by a dominant first-half offensive explosion and a game-high 24 points from guard Gabby Mundy, cruised to an 80-54 victory over the UNC Asheville Bulldogs in a non-conference women’s basketball game Tuesday afternoon at Kimmel Arena.

The Terriers seized control of the contest from the opening tip, establishing a commanding lead that the Bulldogs could never seriously threaten. Wofford’s offense was firing on all cylinders in the first quarter, outscoring UNC Asheville 23-10. The onslaught continued in the second period as the Terriers added another 22 points, building a 45-23 halftime advantage that effectively decided the game’s outcome.

Mundy, a 5-foot-6 guard from Liberty Hill, Texas, was the catalyst for Wofford’s efficient attack. She filled the stat sheet, playing 33 minutes and dishing out a team-high seven assists to go with her scoring output. Her backcourt partner, Molly Masingale, provided strong support with 14 points, four assists, and a block in 32 minutes of action.

The Terriers’ interior presence was equally impactful. Forward Queen Ikhiuwu, a 6-foot-1 native of Madrid, Spain, contributed 13 points and recorded three blocks, anchoring the defense and helping Wofford establish a decisive 36-18 advantage in points in the paint. Maddie Heiss rounded out the double-figure scorers for the visitors with 11 points and four assists.

For UNC Asheville, the backcourt duo of Jamaria Freeman and Nia Green shouldered the scoring load, each finishing with 16 points. Freeman, a 5-foot-6 guard from Wilson, North Carolina, also tallied six assists, while Green, a 6-foot forward from Baltimore, Maryland, added two blocks. Aileen Marquez was the only other Bulldog in double figures, scoring 12 points.

Despite a more competitive third quarter where both teams scored 18 points, the Bulldogs could not mount a significant comeback. Wofford’s defense was tenacious throughout, converting 14 points off turnovers while limiting UNC Asheville to just five. The Terriers maintained their comfortable lead through the final quarter to secure the 26-point win.

The victory evens Wofford’s season record at 2-4, while UNC Asheville falls to an identical 2-4 mark. An announced crowd of 268 was on hand at Kimmel Arena to witness the game.

Wofford will look to build on the win when it returns home to host Georgia Southern on Sunday. UNC Asheville hits the road for its next contest, facing Furman on Saturday.
