Game Date: November 2, 2026
Venue: Physical Education Complex Arena, Baltimore, Maryland
Competition: Women\u2019s College Basketball \u2014 Nonconference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coppin State\u2019s women opened their season Monday evening with a strong presence around the basket, using their rebounding advantage and balanced scoring to turn back Cheyney at the Physical Education Complex Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opener began a demanding November schedule for head coach Darrell Mosley\u2019s Eagles, with Tennessee\u2019s visit to Baltimore arriving just three days later. Road games against Maryland and West Virginia also await as Coppin prepares for its Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anya George led Coppin with 20 points, while Samari Taylor recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Karen Nimo contributed 13 points and eight rebounds, and Shanaii Gamble added 11 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coppin led 20\u201315 after the first quarter and stretched its advantage to 41\u201332 by halftime. A 21\u201315 third quarter created further separation, sending the Eagles into the final period ahead 62\u201347.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagles finished with a 54\u201337 rebounding advantage and outscored Cheyney 48\u201316 in the paint. Those interior contributions helped offset a difficult shooting night from beyond the arc, where Coppin made four of its 21 attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheyney continued to compete, outscoring Coppin 22\u201318 in the fourth quarter. Taniyah Finney paced the visitors with 19 points, including five three-pointers, while Mikiyah Mallett delivered 11 points and 18 rebounds. Jiah Price added 14 points off the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
