Coming off just the second 40-point game in Coastal Carolina women’s basketball history, and with the spotlight on her as the team’s only senior on senior day, Jas Adams was looking to have a big afternoon Saturday against South Alabama.
Yet through three quarters, the Sun Belt Conference’s leading scorer had missed all seven of her field goal attempts and had just seven points from the free throw line. Not surprisingly, the Chanticleers trailed by nine points.
Undeterred, Adams would indeed make her final home game memorable and victorious.
Adams scored 12 consecutive points in the midst of an improbable 23-0 run to start the fourth quarter that propelled the Chants to a 71-56 win.
