BRUNSWICK, GA (Sat 19 Dec 2015) - Malerie Martin scored a career-high 16 points to lead Lindsey Wilson women's basketball to a 59-50 win today over Coastal Georgia at Howard Coffin Gym.



The Blue Raiders (11-2) overcame their second worst shooting game of the season (36.2 percent) to win for the fifth straight time.

Trailing 26-25 at the half, after making just 8-of-29 shots in the first 20 minutes, Lindsey Wilson outscored the Mariners by 10 in the third quarter.

Martin led the third-quarter surge with seven points as the Blue Raiders turned the deficit into a 47-38 lead heading into the final 10 minutes. After its cold-shooting first half, Lindsey Wilson shot 44.8 percent (13-of-29) after the break.

Lindsey Wilson extended its lead to as many as 12 points in the fourth quarter before Coastal Georgia made one final run.

The Mariners (5-7) closed within 56-50 in the final minute, but Lindsey Wilson made three of four free throws in the final half-minute to secure the 59-50 win.

Kayla Richardson joined Martin in double figures with 14 points while Courtney Sandlin chipped in nine points off the Lindsey Wilson bench.

Coastal Georgia's Janne Tullius led all scores with 17 points in the loss.
