CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) Chelsey Shumpert scored 15 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, to lead No. 21 Chattanooga to a 76-52 win over North Carolina-Greensboro on Saturday.
Jasmine Joyner contributed 14 points and Destiny Bramblett added 13 for Chattanooga (22-3, 10-0 Southern), which shot 51.8 percent from the floor on 56 attempts and never trailed in the game. Shumpert also pulled down four rebounds and dished out four assists as the Mocs extended their win streak to 18.
