The "Cobra Spotlight" is a weekly highlight of a student-athlete at Coker College. Each week we take a different athlete from a different sport and display some facets to get more familiar with them. This week we take a look at Celia Duggan and Madison Bingle, members of the women's volleyball team.

What is your best memory at Coker (athletic related)? With the opening of the new DeLoach Center, we were under a lot of pressure to get a win on opening night. The very first point scored in the new gym was by me and then we went on to win the game.
