HARTSVILLE, S.C.- Coker women's basketball looks for a fourth straight South Atlantic Conference win when they host Brevard on Saturday (Dec. 12).

The Cobras continued their winning ways as they downed Queens (N.C.) 86-52 on Wednesday (Dec. 9). Jazz Green's near triple-double (13 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds) paced the Cobras offensively. Altogether four of the five starters scored in double figures, and rarely missed from three-point range. Kiara Shoats was 4-6 from beyond the arc and led Coker with 16 points, while Kendra Lambert got all 15 of her points from downtown. Terrika Foster added 14 of her own to go along with Sydney Shull's 12 points off the bench. Coker trailed after the opening quarter 19-13 but it took a monstrous second quarter to give the Cobras the momentum for good. Coker outscored Queens in each of next three quarters including 29-11 in the second and 19-5 in the fourth.

The Tornados come into the matchup with a 1-4 record and a 0-2 mark in conference. Madison Lenox paces the offense, averaging 15.8 points per game.

Tip-off is set for 2:00 p.m. at the DeLoach Center. Tickets for the game are $5 for adults, $3 for students and free to all Coker faculty, staff and students.
