Moss to Return

Break Out Year
Junior Olivia Irick is having a break out season for the Chanticleers. The guard, who played an average of 17.2 minutes per game over her first two seasons, has solidified herself in head coach Alan LeForce's starting lineup. She is currently Coastal's leading scorer averaging 10.5 points per game. Her 14.5 points per game in Big South play places her second on the conference scoring list.
Seven In A Row
Junior guard Olivia Irick has scored in double figures in each of the past seven games. In all, she has topped the 10 point platform ten times this season which is more than any other Chanticleer. Her ten games in double digits this season surpasses her career total as she scored 10 plus points twice as a freshman and seven times as a sophomore.
Record Watch
