Wofford Reaches Milestone, Red Hawks Fall at UC Merced

MERCED, Calif. - Esther Wofford scored 17 points and tallied her 1,000th career point in a Simpson women's basketball uniform, but it was not enough for the Red Hawks to overcome an 87-75 deficit at UC Merced on Saturday.

Fallon Greenhaw led SU with 19 points, and Emma Limburg (15) and Shayla Smothers (14) also reached double figures in scoring, but the Bobcats shot 53 percent from the floor and slowly pulled away in Cal-Pac Conference action between two teams that won their respective league openers on Thursday.

The Red Hawks led by as many as nine points in the first quarter, but saw that lead evaporate into a 38-35 disadvantage by halftime. The Bobcats dominated the glass 37-18.

Simpson will step out of league play Friday at UC Santa Cruz.
