Note Worthy:
Back-to-Back
Chanticleers defeated Presbyterian College on Feb. 5 they picked up back-to-back wins for the third time this season and first sine defeating Campbell and Coker in consecutive games to close out the month of November. The victories over Winthrop and Presbyterian also represent Coastal two Big South Conference wins this year.
Under 50?... No Problem
Coastal has scored under 50 points in both of its previous two contests, winning both by double-figures in the process. The Chants 48 points against Winthrop were good enough for a 19 point win while 47 against Presbyterian was a 13 point victory.
Irick Comes Through Again
After a two game slump where she only scored a combined nine points against High Point and Liberty, junior guard Olivia Irick has found her stroke once again. In the past three games she has totaled 43 points including a career-high 21 points at Radford. Against Presbyterian College on Feb. 5, Irick made her presence know down the stretch as she connected on two crucial three pointers to keep the Chants in front of the rallying Blue Hose. Irick then sank four foul shots in the final 38 second to seal the Chanticleer victory.
63 Combined Is Not Enough
Winthrop’s 29 points and Presbyterian’s 34 points are the lowest ever allowed in back-to-back games by an Alan LeForce led Coastal Carolina team. In the two games, the Chants have used strong defensive pressure to force Winthrop and Presbyterian into 34 total turnovers and a combined meager 22.5 percent shooting average.
Up Next
Coastal Carolina will close out its current three game homestand as Radford comes to Kimbel Arena on Monday, Feb. 14. The Highlanders bested the Chanticleers 66-55 in the teams first meeting this season on Jan. 29 in Radford, Va.
