BABSON PARK, Fla. (February 20, 2020) – During Senior Night on Thursday inside the Sabbagh Athletic Center, the Webber International University men's basketball team defeated the College of Coastal Georgia by 20, 89-69, in an important battle of two of the three teams tied for sixth place in The Sun Conference men's basketball standings.
