Taylor scored 14 of her 27 points in the first half and tacked on 13 in the second half. She was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line and knocked down three of Western Carolina s eight three pointers in the game. It was the second time in as many games Taylor has scored 20 points as she had 20 points in the loss to Presbyterian Nov. 22. Campbell came out scorching hot and led for the first seven plus minutes of the game. At the 13:32 mark, with the Lady Camels up by three, senior Makensey Campbell hit a three-pointer to tie the game at 10. A pair of free throws by Emily Hatfield gave WCU its first lead of the game, 12-10, at 12:24. Campbell would tie it for the second time off a lay-up by Makala Rouse. The lead would change nine more times in the first half before Western Carolina would secure the lead for good. Trailing 24-23, Taylor hit a jumper with 6:62 remaining and was fouled. She hit the free throw to complete the three-point play and WCU was up by two, Campbell would tie it one more time, 26 all, on a pair of free throws by Kiera Gaines but Taylor answered again to give the lead back to the Catamounts. WCU would never trail again. In fact, Taylor s jumper, at 5:19 left in the first half, spurred an 11-1 run to have WCU lead at half. Freshman Ace Easter Gave the Catamounts the 10 point lead heading into the locker room when she nailed a jumper at the buzzer.
