SALISBURY, NC – The Newberry College Wolves saw their postseason run come to a close Friday afternoon at Newman Park, falling 6–3 to Coker in a South Atlantic Conference Tournament elimination game. Newberry battled from behind twice, but a three-run seventh inning by Coker proved too much to overcome. 

Luke Compton led the way offensively with two hits and a RBI, while Jonathan Velez added a key RBI double in the sixth that tied up the game. Wilson Wages, Kade Faircloth, and Parker Mergo each added hits.

On the mound, Ethan LeBron started for the Wolves, surrendering only two runs over 5.1 innings. The Newberry bullpen worked hard to contain the Cobra bats, but Coker's 15-hit performance kept steady pressure throughout.

The loss caps off a hard-fought season for Newberry, who reached the postseason after a strong closing stretch to regular-season play. The Wolves now turn their focus to the 2026 season.
