A freshman top/tumbler from Spring Branch, Texas, Coker was instrumental in helping the Saints to a 2-0 start this season with victories over No. 2 Gannon and NCAA Division I Presbyterian.
In the 258.090-247.660 win over Presbyterian, Coker's contributions in the compulsory event helped the Saints to an impressive 9.7/10.0 in the comp pyramid. In the pyramid event, Coker particularly shined with her efforts in a 1-1 H-H pyramid, which only a handful of teams attempt in the NCATA. With a starting score of 10.0, Coker picked up a 9.7 against Gannon. In the win over Presbyterian, Coker posted a score of 9.4/9.9 in the toss event. She performed a back double at the same high level toss in synch as well.
Coker continued her contributions in almost every sequence in the team event with a standing tumbling pass of a 10.0, a running tumbling pass of a 9.1, two tosses, one a 9.4 starting value, and another a 9.0. She also performed in the acro sequence with a 1-1 press extension to push the saints to the second highest team event start value in program history.
