Weekly Recap - December 13-19

With Christmas just five days away, we at Charleston Southern would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Hopefully you will have a chance to see friends and family during this holiday season.

Freshman Sheldon Strickland has been named this week’s CSU athlete of the week after his incredible performance against the College of Charleston on Wednesday.

Even though the Bucs lost, Strickland was a perfect 7-for-7 from three point range, finishing with a career high of 27 points. He also had two rebounds and two steals in the game. The Cougars tried everything to stop Strickland, including switching 6-8 Antoine Wiggins on him, but it did not affect the freshman as he continue to pour in the buckets and keep CSU in the game with a chance to win late.

Also nominate: Kelsey Wasmer (Women’s Basketball)

Wednesday, December 15 – MBB Charleston Clash presented by Stokes Honda – vs. C of C – L, 69-77
Sheldon Strickland shot a perfect 7-for-7 from three point range and scored 27 points, shattering his career high, but it wasn’t enough as the Cougars were led by two 20-point scorers in Jeremy Simmons and Andrew Goudelock. The Bucs actually had a better shooting percentage (45.3 percent / 41.9 percent) but made just three of their six free throw attempts, and only one player other than Strickland was able to connect on a three.

Friday, December 17 – WBB @ UNC Wilmington – L, 57-79
For the second time this year the Lady Bucs had to suit up for an early tipoff, going at 11:30 a.m. against Wilmington as they hosted 4,500 elementary school children for the game, putting the Bucs in the midst of a screaming frenzy for the majority of the game. The move paid off for the Seahawks as they used a 15-0 run in the first half to put CSU away. Kelsey Wasmer had 18 points, while Katie Tull has 15 and Lakeitha Alston added 10.

What’s coming up?
December 20 – WBB @ Mercer – 7 p.m.

December 21 – MBB vs. Bluefield – 7:30 p.m.
