• BRIEF SERIES HISTORY

The Bucs lead the all time series matchup against the Presbyterian Blue Hose with eight wins to two losses.

The last meeting between the two squads resulted in a 52-47 win for Charleston Southern.

Below is a brief recap of that game.

Charleston Southern came out flat today and shot 3-of-19 in the first ten minutes. Despite shooting so poorly the Bucs were still in the lead at a score of 11-10.

The shooting percentage discrepancy continued to widen throughout the first half. The half ended with CSU shooting 26%. The Blue Hose doubled up the Bucs by shooting 52% in the first half.

The score remained close throughout the first half with a total of ten lead changes and the highest lead for either team being the Blue Hose' half time lead of seven points at a score of 30-23.

In the second half the two team's roles had seemed to be reversed. Presbyterian went completely cold on the offensive end. The Blue Hose in fact did not connect on a single field goal in the final 9:49 of tonight's contest.

The 19-4 run to finish the game was enough to log an important Big South victory at home.

BUCS BREAK OWN BIG SOUTH RECORD

The Bucs broke the Big South record for three point field goals made in a game with 18, a record they themselves previously owned. CSU set that record set last season at High Point, on Feb. 9, 2010, when they made 17 from beyond the arc. The Bucs were unconscious from three-point land in the first half. Eleven of their 18 three point makes came in the opening frame.

It was by far the Bucs' best shooting night of the season. They shot 58% from the field (35-60) and 50% from deep (18-36).

CHARLESTON SOUTHERN ON FIRE

The Bucs hit on their first seven shots from the field and would continue their stellar shooting throughout the first half making 15 of their first 19 shots from the field. They scored 58 points in the first half alone. That total was more points then the Bucs have scored in the entire game of ten previous contests this season.

WASMER REBOUNDS

After a disapointing outing against High Point in which she was held scoreless for the first time in her CSU career, senior guard Kelsey Wasmer responded and led the Buccaneers with 23 points on the night. She shot an astounding 7-of-10 from beyond the arc.

WASMER REACHES MILLENIUM MARK

Buccaneer senior Kelsey Wasmer recently past the 1,000-point milestone for her career. She presently sits at 1,054 points. Wasmer is one of the most versatile players in the Big South. She presently ranks among the Big South leaders in scoring (4th, 13.9 ppg), rebounding (5th, 7.1 rpg) and three-pointers made (6th, 42).

Charleston Southern is now one of only two teams in the Big South to have two active 1,000 point scorers on their roster, the other team being High Point.
