The Kohawks’ Season

The Kohawks made it to the Sweet 16 this season and met their match in Illinois Wesleyan. Wesleyan defeated the Kohawks in their first Sweet 16 appearance in school history, 77-74. Coe took an early lead in the game and finished the first half leading 36-32 after many lead changes throughout the half. The second half started out like much of the first with many lead changes.

The Titans opened the half by scoring the first seven points in 1:30 before Coe made the next 6 points and took the lead 44-43. Wesleyan attempted to shut down Coe when they went on an 11-2 run in three minutes and took the lead 54-45. Coe responded with a 10-4 run of their own. With 2:13 left in the game, the Titans hit a pair of threes as they took the lead 72-67. They would never trail again.

Coe has much to be proud of as they won 26 games, won the Iowa Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament Championship, were regular season conference winners, and made it to the Sweet 16. Head Coach Randi Peterson leads the Kohawks but looks to Kaitlin Breitbach, Sarah Anciaux, Kayla Lincoln, and Kayla Waskow to win games.
