HARTSVILLE, S.C.- Three games. Three games are all that stand between the Coker women's basketball team and a Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship. Coach Jenny Finora and the Cobra women will begin that journey at North Greenville University on Monday night in the opening round of the conference tournament.

The Cobras finished the regular season with an 11-6 conference record, earning the #3 seed in the East Division. Since January 10, Coker has won 11 of their last 14 games, including their last six in a row.

Coach Finora, along with assistant coach and husband Vic, have led the Cobras to their first appearance in the conference tournament since 2009.
