BANNER ELK, N.C. – The Coker women's basketball team collected their fourth win of the season on Saturday (Dec. 1) afternoon, as they defeated Lees-McRae College 77-58 in a Conference Carolinas competition.  With the win the Cobras improve to 4-1 overall, and 2-1 in conference play.

Three of Coker's five starters earned double-digit scoring figures.  Sophomore guard Angie Lawrence had a season high 18-points for the Cobras.  She also collected six rebounds, and dished out a team high five assist.  Hailey Yohn tallied 13-points, and Lau finished with a game high 29-points.

An offensive burst from the Bobcats, kept the score within reach for Lees-McRae as the game clock continued to dwindle.  The deficit however, was too much for the Bobcats as the Cobras held all but one Lees-McRae scorers to single-digits.  Priscilla Fenty led the defensive stand with 10 rebounds.
