During the final six and a half minutes of the first half, ETSU went on a 13-7 run to close out the half and led 40-24.
ETSU continued to hold its 16-point advantage as they led 51-35 heading into the first media timeout of the second half.
Once again DeVault stepped up when the Lady Buccaneers needed her, because her three from the corner ended a brief JU rally and put ETSU up 49-33.
For the game, ETSU was 27-for-61 (44.3 percent) and held JU to 27-of-72 shooting (37.5 percent). The Dolphins, who like to shoot the three, only made four and shot a dismal 21.1 percent from behind the arc.
The Lady Buccaneers' five extra free throws proved to be critical as they made 19 to JU's 14. Both teams grabbed 43 rebounds and scored 14 second-chance points off their offensive boards.
Along with Belcher, Evans (10 points) and Turman (11 points) were the other two ETSU players to score in double figures. Belcher finished 8-of-11 from the field, 6-of-7 from the free throw line and grabbed eight rebounds.
Eight of Evans' points also came from the charity stripe and she finished with five rebounds and two assists.
Turman was 5-of-7 from the floor and produced big numbers in only 12 minutes of work.
Ashley Williams was one of three Dolphin players to reach double figures in scoring as she finished with 21 points, seven rebounds and four assists. The Dolphins ended the season 23-9.
The Lady Buccaneers will now enjoy some time off as they have to wait for the rest of the field to file in during the next week and two days.
ETSU will find out on Monday, March 17, where and when they will be headed in the NCAA Tournament as the 64-team field will be announced live on ESPN in part of its Selection Monday special at 8 p.m.
