HARTSVILLE, S.C.- Coker women's basketball dropped its South Atlantic Conference contest to Carson-Newman at home 85-47 on Saturday (Jan. 14).
Coker trailed 22-13 after one quarter, before a cold-shooting second quarter left Coker at a 36-18 disadvantage at the half. Coker came as close as within seven in the frame, before the visitors were able to take control and take the double-digit lead to the half. Coker scored four of the first six points in the second quarter, thanks to jump shots from Kendra Lambert and Trai Johnson.
