Mariners Send-Off Seniors with Big Win

BRUNSWICK, Ga.- The Coastal Georgia women's basketball team (7-18, 5-11) ended its season with an 87-65 win over Thomas University (1-23, 0-16) on Saturday night in the Coffin Gym.

Sonia Forney, Joyce Jordan and Nicole Hofmann all played their final game in a Coastal Georgia uniform as they will graduate and move on to the next stages of their lives this upcoming summer.

The Mariners were led by Jordan and Forney who dropped in 22 and 19 points, respectively. Jordan also corralled a double-double with 10 rebounds and led the team with six assists.

Iesha Rhodin and Nicole Hofmann also finished in double figures, as Rhodin dropped in 14 and Hofmann recorded 11.

Victoria Hickman was efficient in her 13 minutes of play, recording five points and four assists including some flashy no-look dimes to the posts inside.

For the Nighthawks, Jade Studamire and Lenise Santiago combined for 41 points while Dejah Wilson added 15 points of her own and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds.

As a team, the Mariners shot 50 percent from the field and nearly 40 percent from beyond the arc. Their strong shooting performance and good ball movement pushed them to victory.

How It Happened:

1st Quarter:

  • Iesha Rhodin took over the game early, dropping in 11 first-quarter points as the Mariners went up 20-12.
  • Rhodin knocked in three three-pointers, including one where she fell down trying to beat the buzzer.

2nd Quarter:

  • Jade Studamire tried to get the Nighthawks back in the game in the second quarter, but Sonia Forney and Kelsey Leedle's 14 combined points would not allow it.
  • As a team, the Mariners made four three-pointers in the quarter and missed just four shots.

3rd Quarter:

4th Quarter:
