PENSACOLA, Fla. – No. 4 Coastal Carolina used a dominant bench performance to power past No. 8 Georgia State, 77-68, in the Sun Belt Conference Championship quarterfinals on Saturday at the Pensacola Bay Center.
The Chanticleers (23-7) advance to the league's semifinal round for the first time in school history and will face No. 1 seed James Madison on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET.
Alancia Ramsey posted her seventh double-double of the season off the bench, scoring a team-high 18 points while grabbing a game-high 10 boards. Jayden Marable added 15 while Savannah Brooks and Jaylen Ponder each poured in 10.
Coastal started a five-guard lineup to try and limit the Georgia State offense. The Chants got 54 of their 77 points from the reserves and controlled the paint with 44 points inside, overcoming a fast start from Georgia State (17-16) to pull away late.
The Panthers were led by Mikyla Tolivert, who scored a game-high 26 points, but struggled to find offensive consistency, shooting just 32% from the field. Coastal's balanced attack and depth proved too much, as the Chanticleers closed the game with clutch free-throw shooting and defensive stops.
Coastal's semifinal matchup with James Madison will be a rematch from earlier in the season with the Dukes winning both ends of the season series, and a trip to the Sun Belt title game on the line. Tune into ESPN+ and the Chanticleer Radio Network for complete coverage.
