CONWAY, S.C. â Despite 19 points from junior forward Aja Blount, Coastal Carolina could not withstand a late rally by South Alabama in a 61-56 Sun Belt Conference womenâs basketball loss on Sunday afternoon at The HTC Center.
Coastal led the contest 42-38 heading into the last period, but thatâs when USAâs Savannah Jones went to work. Jones made back-to-back three-pointers and made another trey in the Jaguarsâ 9-0 run that made the score 53-44 and put them in front to stay. Blount and senior guard Kaylin West keyed a late CCU rally that fell just short, leaving Coastal winless in the Sun Belt with its eighth loss and a 3-9 record overall.
