WILLIAMSBURG, Va.- Charleston women's basketball defeated William & Mary on Sunday afternoon after an explosive second quarter led the Cougars to a 79-76 victory. CofC improves to 9-4 in conference play.

HOW IT HAPPENED

A slow start for the Cougars resulted in a 14-point deficit after the first ten minutes of play.
Back-to-back triples from Taryn Barbot and Sophia Tougas in the second frame cut the deficit to single digits, followed by an 8-0 scoring run to take the lead halfway through the quarter. Charleston took a five-point lead heading into the break.
Halfway through the third quarter, Tougas and Taryn Barbot once again knocked down a pair of threes giving CofC its largest lead of the day by nine.
Heading into the final frame with a two-point lead, the Cougars converted on key plays, led by Taylor Barbot with drives to the rim to maintain the lead.
