ABOUT THE CHANTICLEERSCoastal Carolina comes into Loretto at 2-0 on the season after defeating Clemson on Sunday in Clemson, South Carolina. CCU held Clemson to just 28 percent shooting while Yasmine Miller and Rachel Gregory each had 18 in the 63-47 win. CCU was picked to finish 10th in the Big South Conference after a 12-18 season in 2014. The Chanticleers also like to push the pace, they averaged nearly 70 points per game last season. Against Clemson, they averaged 11 seconds per possession, so we can expect a fast-paced game on Wednesday night.

Aisha Brock (Jacksonville, Fla./Potter's House Christian Academy) had 14 to lead the Flash in the victory. This match-up is the second-half of a home-and-home series between the teams.
