Box Score WISE, Va. – DeJanique Reddix canned a pair of free throws with 25 seconds to play to propel the University of Charleston to a 70-69 victory over UVa-Wise at the Prior Center on Saturday.
Reddix's free throws capped a game that featured 12 ties and 10 lead changes and gave Charleston (15-7, 11-7 MEC) a season series sweep of the Cavaliers.
UVa-Wise (8-14, 4-14 MEC) missed a shot with 11 seconds to play but received another opportunity after a pair of missed free throws from Charleston. Again, the shot would be no good, this time as the horn sounded to give the Eagles the win.
Charleston was led by double-figure scorers LeAnne Ross (16) and Nichole Perry (13) in the box score. Kali Cuttaia came off the UC bench to score eight points and pull down five rebounds for the Golden Eagles. Bench points provided to be big for UC as they outscored the Cavalier bench 27 to 19 for the game.
The Cavaliers got a monster game from Reynesha Archer who had a game-high 26 points on nine for 11 shooting on the afternoon.
Charleston returns to action Thursday evening to host Urbana University with tip-off set for 5:30 p.m.
