THOMASVILLE, Ga.- The Coastal Georgia women's basketball team (2-15, 1-7) notched its first Sun Conference win of the season in convincing fashion over Thomas University (1-15, 0-8) to snap a 12-game losing streak. The Marines took the game 60-48 on Saturday afternoon.

The Mariners were led by Joyce Jordan and Andranique Voorhies who turned in stellar defensive performances. The two combined for eight blocks and four steals while also putting in 20 points.
