ASHVILLE, N.C. — Khalis Cain scored a career-high 20 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked five shots to lift UNC Greensboro to a 64-57 win in overtime over Chattanooga in the Southern Conference championship game, giving the Spartans their second NCAA Tournament berth, the first since 1998. It was also the first championship game loss in 21 appearances for the Mocs, who beat UNCG 69-60 in the title game last year for their 17th NCAA trip. The top-seeded Spartans, who have won 14 straight, blocked 10 shots, five in overtime when Chattanooga went 1 for 9 with two turnovers. UNCG was 2 of 5 but went 8 of 11 from the foul line. Freshman Gianna Corbitt scored 18 points for the second-seeded Mocs, who lost both regular-season meetings to the Spartans.
