Box Score Central, S.C. – Trailing by four at halftime, the Erskine Flying Fleet (3-3, 1-1) shot 57% in the second half to blow out the Warriors of Southern Wesleyan University (1-3, 0-2) 90 to 68 tonight in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action at Tysinger Gymnasium.

SWU led by eleven points midway through the opening period before the Fleet began their comeback.   SWU's Chelsie Waters and Cayse Branyon converted both their free throws to put the Warriors up by eleven.  After exchanging baskets, the Fleet slowly whittled away at the Warriors lead to trail by four at intermission.
