Coker Narrowly Defeated At Erskine

Due West, SC - Coker nearly came back from a 24-point deficit but couldn't make it all the way back, falling 71-69 at Erskine Tuesday night in women's college basketball. The Cobras fall to 2-17 overall and 2-12 in the CVAC, while EC improves to 5-15 and 4-10 in the conference.

Erskine started the game on fire and held a 42-18 lead as the first period was winding down. However, CC began their comeback with a 12-1 run to close the half and trailed 43-30 going into the break. Coker continued to keep up the pressure after halftime, shooting 50 percent from the field and holding the Flying Fleet to 37 percent shooting.

Coker pulled within two points twice in the final 30 seconds but each time Erskine converted two free throws to hold the charging Cobras off. CC took its final possession with 8.9 seconds left but could not get a shot off.

Sophomore center Leanne Chandler was too much for EC inside, scoring 17 points and pulling down five rebounds to lead Coker.
