Football concluded with their season, while the VB team made history with a run to the semifinals in the Big South Championships. Add in a men’s basketball victory over The Citadel, and it was a great week for CSU athletics.

Hill averaged 20 kills per match, with a game-high 26 in the semifinals against Liberty. She had a double-double in both games, averaging 16 digs per match as well.
CSU overcame Winthrop in the first round of the championship, giving them their first win over Winthrop since 1994. It was the first tournament victory since 1992 and the first time that the Lady Buccaneers have made it to the semifinals since 1990.

November 20 – VB vs. Liberty, L, 3-2
(At Big South Championship)
The Lady Bucs proved it was no fluke that they were in the semis as they took the regular season co-champions to the brink, but could not finish the job against Liberty. With seven block assists in the match, Cori Holeman set the single-season block assists record at CSU with 140. With their backs to the wall, CSU won set four to force a decisive fifth set for the second-straight day. Liberty grabbed an 8-0 lead in set five, and while CSU got back to within three at 13-10, two straight from LU finished an excellent season for CSU.

November 21 – MBB vs. Stetson – W, 80-64
The men’s team opened up their home schedule in grand fashion, dominating Stetson with an 80-64 victory. A 10-point CSU lead at halftime was quickly erased by the Hatters, but the Bucs pulled away with about seven minutes left, thanks in large part to a pair of three pointers by Tom Tankelewicz, who finished with a career-high 14 points.
