CHARLESTON, S.C. – In the program's 100th regular season game hosted in TD Arena, the College of Charleston women's basketball team got back to its winning ways Tuesday, taking an early lead and riding it all the way to the end in a 77-63 victory over the Winthrop Eagles (2-9).

The College celebrated its fifth victory of the season, which is significant because they recorded just five wins on the entire season in 2014-15. By already achieving their previous season's win total, the Cougars are without question on the up-swing.

The Cougars entered the contest much-maligned in the rebounding department, having lost the battle of the boards in eight of their nine contests. Something snapped into focus for The College on Tuesday though, and not only did CofC win the rebounding battle 50-34, but both Breanna Bolden (19 points, 10 rebounds) and Kelsey Booth (15 points, 12 rebounds) registered double-doubles, the team's first two of the season. Booth's 12 rebounds was just one shy of her career-high of 13, set way back in March of 2014 during her time with Siena.

“We had a pretty focused group out there tonight, especially in the second half,” head coach Candice M. Jackson said. “Overall, we had a balanced night, and it was a fun game to coach.”

Darien Huff was excellent shooting from all areas of the field, going 7-of-10 overall and 3-of-4 from deep en route to a career-high 18-point game. Dajah Logan came off the bench to score a career-high nine points of her own, and very nearly made it 12 with a buzzer-beating three to end the third period that was released just a shade late.

Jackie Luna-Castro had a useful outing with seven points, six boards, two blocks and a steal, while Nola Henry rounded things out with a five point, seven rebound, seven assist effort.

The Cougars had a strong collective shooting night, going 49.1% from the field, 57.1% from deep, and 78.9% from the line. They also doubled the Eagles up in the assists department (16 vs. 8).

The Eagles won the takeaway battle with only 11 turnovers of their own compared to CofC's 23, almost exclusively because Aliyah Kilpatrick went crazy by pulling off a double-double with steals (28 points, 10 steals).

The Cougars have the Christmas break off, and won't reconvene for their final out-of-conference contest on Wednesday, Dec. 30. They'll travel to Macon, Ga. to take on the Mercer Bears in The University Center.

“Our shooting aggression is better, and I like the way we've been forcing our way to the foul line,” Jackson said. “We'll need to focus on rebounding even more, because Mercer's very good on the boards.”

Tipoff is scheduled 7 p.m.
