The Cobras struggled from the floor only shooting 29-percent (19-of-64), but were able to keep the game within reach by hitting 9-of-28 three's.
Amber Lau once again lead the Coker offense with a team high 11-points. She collected nine rebounds and two steals. Angie Lawrence scored 11 points, while teammate Priscilla Fenty tallied nine points and gobbled up a game high 12-rebounds.
