UTC's Lady Mocs hit the court Sunday in Asheville, taking on Appalachian State in the Southern Conference tournament semifinals.
The regular-season champion Lady Mocs gunning for their 18th straight win.
A 10-nothing first half run put coach Wes Moore's team ahead by 8 points, but the Mountaineers responded with an 8-nothing run to pull even.
A bucket by Red Payne put the Lady Mocs ahead by two points at the half.
The game see-sawed in the second half until the final five minutes.
The Mountaineers led 60-55 when a 6-0 Lady Mocs run put them on top by a point.
Kylie Lambert's jumper made it 65-62 with 2 and a half minutes left.
The Lady Mocs hit 7 free throws, and played some good defense down the stretch in a 72-67 win.
Taylor Hall was a perfect 11-for-11 at the free throw line, scoring 17 points. Ashlen Dewart had 16 for the Lady Mocs, now 28-3 overall.
They'll play for the tournament championship, and a trip to the NCAA's big dance, Monday at 3 o'clock.
