As busy as the first of the month was, this week calmed down considerably as Soccer, Volleyball and Cross Country all took the weekend off. There was still plenty of good Buccaneer action, though, including two victories over The Citadel on consecutive days.
With the game-winning goal in the 63rd minute against The Citadel on Wednesday, Marky Boyce has been named this week’s CSU Athlete of the Week.
It was the fifth goal in six games this season for Boyce, who is tied with Sarah Catenacci and Morgann Wood for team-high honors. She also leads the way with three of the team’s five game-winners and now has six for her career. Boyce has scored five goals on just 20 shots (25 percent) and almost half of her shots (45 percent) have been on goal.
Congratulations Marky! Now on to the results…
Sept. 8 – Volleyball @ The Citadel – W, 3-0
The Citadel volleyball team has been on the rise over the past few years, but CSU had no problem with them, Tuesday, sweeping aside the cross-town rivals in straight sets. In control throughout, the Lady Buccaneers came out of the break strong, winning the third and final set 25-7. Amanda Hill had a double-double with 15 digs and 13 kills on just 24 attacks. Cori Holeman was involved in four of the team’s seven blocks that helped CSU move their record to 4-5 on the season. The teams will play again in the upcoming S.C. State Tournament.
Game Story
Sept. 9 – Soccer @ The Citadel – W, 2-1
After suffering their first defeat of the season, the CSU women’s soccer team bounced back with a 2-1 victory against what Coach Eric Terrill called a “very disciplined” Citadel team. Sarah Catenacci scored the first goal of the game, dribbling all the way from the sidelines into the middle of the penalty area where she got a shot off, beating the keeper to the far post. The Bulldogs tied the game in the 59th minute but less than five minutes later Marky Boyce had the answer to give CSU a 5-1 record on the early season.Game Story
Sept. 12 – Football @ Wofford – L, 42-14
After a slow start, trailing 21-0 just nine seconds into the second quarter, forced CSU to play catch up, the Bucs put a scare into Wofford but fell on the road against the #14th-ranked Terriers. CSU found a 17-play, 80-yard drive to cut into the lead in the second quarter, but found themselves trailing 28-7 at the break. In the second half, the defense came out strong, getting two-straight stops. A Wofford gamble on a fourth-down fake punt failed and CSU drove down, finishing a drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass from A.J. Toscano to Gerald Stevenson, cutting it to 28-14. With all the momentum, the defense got another stop and it looked like CSU would be able to get to within one touchdown. Inside the 15 yard line, Tim Jones was stripped of the ball after a 21-yard catch, the third turnover of the game, ending the threat. An 80-yard run the other way stole the momentum back and kept Wofford comfortably in front.Game Story
