BOONE, N.C. – Despite 18 points from Michaela Porter and a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds from Alexia Allesch, App State suffered its first home loss of the season by a score of 78-65 to Wofford.
 
The Mountaineers (6-4) had started the year with four straight home victories and had won their last three games overall.
 
Down 38-33 at the half, App State began the third quarter on a 7-0 to overtake the lead, thanks to an Emily Carver 3-pointer, a long jumper from Porter and an Allesch layup all courtesy of strong ball movement.
 
It was a close back-and-forth battle for most of the third quarter until Wofford (4-6) went on a 9-0 run to close the frame with a 54-47 advantage.
 
The Terriers continued to stretch their lead throughout the fourth quarter en route to the final 13-point decision.
 
Allesch's double-double was her second of the season. Freshmen Zada Porter and Mariah Frazier chipped in career highs of nine points and seven points, respectively.
 
Jackie Carman led Wofford with 26 points, and Reagan Rapert added 15. The Terriers went 23-of-31 from the free-throw line, while App State made nine of their 14 attempts from the charity stripe.
 
App State is on the road for its next game this Wednesday at Davidson (11 a.m., ESPN+) before closing out the nonconference season with consecutive home games against Old Dominion (Dec. 18) and Eastern Kentucky (Dec. 21).
