For all of Coastal Carolina’s struggles this season, the Chanticleers will take a two-game winning streak into the 2018 season.

Coastal ended its first season in the Sun Belt Conference and at the Football Bowl Subdivision level with a 28-17 win over Georgia Southern on Saturday afternoon at Brooks Stadium.

Paired with their first Sun Belt win in their most recent game two weeks ago, 13-7 at Idaho, the Chants (3-9) avoided the Sun Belt basement at 2-6 in the conference. Texas State (2-10) finished 1-7 in the conference, with its lone win against the Chants.

The Chants won their opening game at home against UMass and its final two games, and endured a program-record nine-game losing streak in between.
