Coker women score South Atlantic Conference win

The Coker University women’s basketball team took down UVA Wise for a key South Atlantic Conference win on Saturday by a score of 75-70. The Cobras jumped out to a six-point lead halfway through the first quarter, before taking a 19-11 lead to the second. Coker increased its lead to double-digits early in the second, before UVA Wise would cut into the deficit part way through the second, before Coker would go back ahead by double digits and eventually take a 44-30 lead to the half. Coker held a double-digit lead for most of the third quarter, before UVA Wise would make it a single-digit game again at 60-54 to end the third quarter. UVA Wise would cut the deficit to five points four minutes in the fourth quarter, before eventually tying the game up at 66 with five and a half minutes to play. An Ashauntee Nelson jumper with two and a half minutes to play was the go-ahead bucket for the Cobras, as Coker was able to put the game away from there. The Cobras shot 46.8 percent in the game, including five three-pointers. Saquita Joyner led the way with a game-high 19 points, while Mariah Mitchem added 12 points along with 11 from Ahlea Myers and 10 from Dasia Lambert. Five other Cobras chipped in points in the game.
