MOUNT VERNON, Ga. - 29 personal fouls and 24 turnovers were the story for the College of Coastal Georgia women's basketball team as they dropped their Monday night contest with the Brewton-Parker Lady Barons by a final of 59-45. 

It was a lightning quick start for the Mariners (1-1) as they blitzed the Lady Barons (2-1) to the tune of a 10-2 run at the halfway point of the first quarter. Peyton Schafer got the scoring started with a layup to start the game, which Tyler Butler followed with a layup of her own to make the score 4-1. After another 1-2 trip from the charity stripe for BPC, Shafer put two more in the basket on a trip to the free throw line. The freshman added her second bucket and sixth point of the first quarter with another layup, and Gracie Herron ended the run with a layup with 5:19 left in the quarter to cap the 10-2 run. Cori Keats ended the run with a three for Brewton-Parker, and the Lady Barons slowly climbed back into the game. Brewton-Parker closed the gap all the way with 1:35 left in the quarter with a pair of free throws, but Morgon Webb put a jumper through to put the Mariners on top, as she scored the final five points of the quarter to send the game to the second with CCGA in front 15-10.

Brewton-Parker came out on a 4-0 run over the first three minutes of the second quarter, but Webb connected on a layup which turned into a successful three point play to put CCGA back up four. Later in the quarter, Alli Stone and Webb went back-to-back from the three point line to give the Mariners their largest lead of the night at 10. Out of the timeout, the Lady Barons closed the second quarter on a 13-7 run over the final five minutes to close the Mariners lead down to one, and CCGA took a 28-27 lead into the locker room.

CCGA went just 4-17 from the field in the quarter with two of their four field goals coming from behind the three point line. The Mariners got the game back tied after the Lady Barons took the lead to begin the third with 7:18 to go in the quarter, but Brewton-Parker responded with an 11-2 run over the next five minutes of game time, ballooning the lead to 45-36. Shafer added a three to end the run and cut the lead to six, but Brewton-Parker once again went on a massive run to end the quarter, out scoring CCGA 5-1 over the last two minutes to take a 50-40 lead into the fourth and final quarter.
