Georgia Southern sets school marks for three-pointers made (17) and attempted (42) in reaching century mark for a second straight game
STATESBORO - Georgia Southern women's basketball knocked down a school-record 17 three-pointers, hitting the century mark for a second straight contest in pickin gup a 109-76 win over Wofford on Saturday at the Jack and Ruth Ann Hill Convocation Center.
The Eagles moved to 2-2 on the season with the victory over former SoCon foe Wofford (3-2), who saw its three-game winning streak come to a close.Â
A high-scoring first period saw the Eagles hit 5-of-10 three-pointers en route to taking a 29-26 lead at the end of the frame. Georgia Southern then held the Terriers to just 5-of-16 shooting from the floor in the second period to take a commanding 58-40 lead into halftime.
The Eagles opened up the third quarter on an 18-7 run over the first three minutes to build a 74-47 lead and cruise to the victory.
It's the first time the Eagles have scored 100+ points against a SoCon opponent since Georgia Southern defeated ETSU, 104-101, in quadruple overtime on January 12, 1998.
Four Eagles reached double figures on the day, led by Jamiria Jones' 21 points. Markayla Holland and Kyla Bryant each added 19 points, while Kiyah Lewis added 11 points - all in the second half. Maddie Heiss led a trio of Terriers in double figures with 25 points.
Eagle of the Game
With Holland's three-pointer at the 8:28 mark of the second quarter, the fifth-year forward surpassed 1,000 points for her collegiate career. She finished the game with five steals to go with her 19 points and also connected on three three-pointers.
Stat of the Game
Georgia Southern shot 17-of-42 three-pointers (40.5 percent), eclipsing the school record for both threes made and threes attempted. The 17 threes bests the 15 threes hit against Coastal Georgia on Dec. 12, 2025, while the 42 attempts is four more than the previous school record of 38 set against Troy on February 6, 2021.
Quotables
Head coach Heather Macy on the win over Wofford
"I'm gonna tell you it is really, really nice playing in Statesboro. I think we've enjoyed this week being at home, being inside of our community and the kids being able to get the work in every single day. And you can see the results. We started off so weird with how we were scoring and shooting and changing up the rotations a little bit. So proud of this group though. I'm gonna tell you something. Wofford's a very, very good basketball team and so this win is gonna be a big one. I think it's gonna be a big one all the way down the stretch for us."
Fifth-year Markayla Holland on surpassing 1,000 career points
"I've honestly thought of myself as a defensive player, so to achieve 1,000 points means a lot to me. Quite frankly though, with the system that we play, I pride myself in defense. Offense is great, but defense wins games."
Coach Macy on Holland's accomplishment
"It's a big deal for what she's been doing from starting out her career and now finishing her career here. For her to have a milestone like that, that many players never get to see. She has put in such incredible amounts of work and growth, and it's just really impressive. And I'm excited that she got to experience that today on our family day. The kids' families are all here in town, which is really, really nice. So her family came to town and it was really nice for them to get to see her to do that, and it's really nice that I get to coach her a whole lot more."
Next Up
Georgia Southern will next host Coastal Georgia on Tuesday, November 17, in a 5 p.m. contest at The Hill. It will be a part of a doubleheader with the men's team, who hosts Middle Tennessee at 8 p.m.
