Our Buccaneer athletes broke records, earned Big South Player of the Week honors three times, and got big victories this week including two women’s basketball wins on the hardwood and two softball wins on the road at the College of Charleston.
Kelsey Wasmer, the 4x200m relay team and Kelvin Day were all honored by the Big South to highlight the week of action.
Day shot rounds of 73, 75 and 71 to finish with a 3-over par 219, just one shot behind medalist and No. 16-ranked Brendan Gielow of Wake Forest. Day was one of just four players in the field to shoot under par on Tuesday, and he finished the tournament with six birdies. It also was Day’s second-straight 2nd-place finish and his 3rd top-10 finish of the season.
February 8 – WBB vs. High Point – W, 66-60
They were the preseason pick to win the Big South, but Monday night they were no match for CSU as the Bucs held serve at home with an important win to get to .500 in the conference. Katie Tull had 25 points, including 16 in the second half, while Kelsey Wasmer continued her hot streak with 17 points and seven rebounds. Free throws proved to be key as well, as CSU hit 17 of 18 from the charity stripe in the victory.
