ETSU stifled Wofford 63-50 last Saturday for a convincing road win over the conference-leading Terriers. The 50 points Wofford scored were its third fewest of the season, and the matchup marked the third time this season it shot worse than 30% from the field. The other programs to hold Wofford to those marks this season are defending national champion South Carolina and SEC mainstay Kentucky.

5th year guard Courtney Moore scored her 1,000th career point in the win over the Terriers with a wing 3-pointer with two minutes left in the game to ice the Bucs' win. Moore's shot made her the first Buc since Erica Haynes-Overton, who did so in 2019, to reach the mark, and her 12 points extended her streak to nine straight games scoring in double digits, continuing the best mark of her career. 

With the triple, Moore joined the now-25 member 1,000-point club in ETSU women's basketball history. She has 1,004 career points, and is within reach of 23rd all-time in ETSU history on Thursday, needing just seven points to pass Missy Marvin and Gwen Washington. 

The Catamounts have struggled throughout most of conference play, and sit at (11-11, 1-6) heading into the back half of SoCon action. However, four of those losses have come by single digit points, and Western Carolina's recent loss to Samford was in double overtime.

WCU is led by AC Carter, who averages a conference-best 15.3 points per game to go with 6.2 rebounds/game. Tyja Beans scores 12.6 with 8.4 rebounds per game for the Catamounts, and Jada Burton adds 5.3 assists per night.

ETSU is 59-25 all-time against Western Carolina, with a 4-1 mark in the Mock Brown era, including a 2-0 record in Johnson City.

The last time the Bucs and Catamounts met, Western Carolina pulled out a narrow 64-60 win at home. Moore and senior guard Braylyn Milton each scored 13 for ETSU in Milton's first game back from the starting lineup after returning from injury.
