Thirteen of the Chants fourteen roster players scored points in the contest.
Olivia Irick led all scorers with 11 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor. Lauren Grochowski finished with a season high 10 points including a perfect 5-of-5 from the charity stripe.

Taylor Epley set a new career-high with nine rebounds to go along with her six points.
On the defensive end of the floor, Coastal forced 24 turnovers while pulling down 41 rebounds. Coastal was able to hold the Cobras without a field goal from the 5:42 mark of the first half until the 12:43 mark of the second. During that stretch, Coastal blew open the game with a 32-3 scoring run.
The Chants finished with 55 total boards in the contest and is the second game this season that featured 50 plus rebounds.
