This weekend some really amazing things occurred for the “Hen House!”
The Lady Gamecock Volleyball team travelled to Tallahassee to play in the NCAA Tournament.
For those of you who only focus on the football team or the Marching Southerners—let me catch you up to speed. This year is their THIRD appearance in the tournament and their FOURTH OVC Championship in five years!
They beat one of the home teams — Florida A&M on Saturday afternoon and then faced #3 in the country Florida State on Sunday. They lost 3-0.
But before you start thinking the “Well, we’re just a little school in Alabama” excuse — look closer at the set scores! 25-18, 26-24, 25-22 Literally, victory was within their reach and Florida State did not have an easy time moving to the next round. Similiar to our meeting FSU in football, we demonstrated that we have Division I potential written all over our women’s volleyball team!
So congratulations Coach Nold and the Lady Gamecocks on your fantastic season! We can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next year! This season definitely makes us proud to be Gamecocks!
