HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker women's basketball team picked up their second victory in as many games on Saturday afternoon, when they defeated the Lady Tornado of King College 66-46. Four Cobra women scored in double figures in a victory that improved Coker to 2-3 in Conference Carolinas play.

Jessica Cohen (Ladsen, S.C.) recorded her third straight double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds and Amber Lau (Mt. Wolfe, Pa.) also hadded 10 points with five rebounds.

Brittany Kinser led the Tornado with 11 points and Brooke Johnson added 10 points.
