Key moment
Coastal Georgia outscored the Eagles 17-7 in the third quarter to pull within five heading into the fourth. The Mariners missed the first shot of the period, then in transition Barber canned a three pointer from the corner. Barber then picked up a steal and was fouled on another three-point attempt, making two of the three free throws, and the 11-2 run over the first three minutes of the fourth quarter pushed the GS lead to 54-40.
