ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Wofford's quest for its first NCAA tournament appearance continued Friday with a 75-64 win over ETSU in the semifinal round of the 2021 Ingles Southern Conference Women's Basketball Championship presented by General Shale Brick at Harrah's Cherokee Center Asheville. 
 
The fourth-seeded Terriers (13-10) used a big advantage at the free-throw line to advance to Sunday's title game for the first time in school history. Wofford will play either No. 2 Mercer or No. 6 Furman in the noon tipoff, with the winner earning the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tourney. 
 
Converting 26-of-30 foul shots, the Terriers kept up a comfortable margin most of the game against No. 8 seed ETSU (4-16).  The Buccaneers made just 12-of-18 free throws and lost the rebounding battle 48-30.
 
Lilly Hatton paced Wofford with 15 points, including a trio of 3-pointers. Jackie Carman and Annabelle Schultz both finished 6-of-6 from the foul line for the Terriers. 
 
ETSU got a career-high 20 points from freshman Carly Hooks and a double-double from freshman Jakhyia Davis (14 points, 10 rebounds). 
 
Wofford led 38-30 at intermission thanks to a huge edge at the foul line. The Terriers made 13-of-17 free throws in the first half, while ETSU didn't get to the charity stripe.
