CLINTON, S.C. (AP) — Spencer Collins hit two of his four 3-pointers late in a decisive stretch that sent Wofford past Presbyterian 68-58 Saturday night.

Collins was 4 for 6 from 3-point range, but he connected on a couple in a minute-and-a-half span to put Wofford up 58-50. Collins finished with 21 points and Justin Gordon added 11 though Wofford (2-3) only shot 38.3 percent for the night.

But the Terriers did convert 8 for 10 from the free-throw line in the final 2:33 to keep Presbyterian (3-3) at bay. Wofford led 34-22 at the half.

Presbyterian's DeSean Murray was 10-for-15 from the field and scored 24 points. The Blue Hose was 2 for 16 from 3-point range and Murray was the only player to score in double figures.

Wofford holds a 101-74 edge in the series.
