What a great week to be a Buccaneer! So many great things happening around campus this past week as we entered into September. Volleyball beat The Citadel, football beat North Greenville and the cross country teams proved that their high hopes for this season were with good reason.
Rodl posted a career-best 29 digs against The Citadel on Tuesday, pushing her over the mark. The 29 digs was by far her best performance this season, almost tripling her total from the match before.
August 31 – Volleyball vs. The Citadel – W, 3-2
Their only game this week, the volleyball team played The Citadel at home in front of a great crowd. After easily winning the first two sets, the Lady Bucs looked like they would cruise to the sweep, but out of the intermission, the Bulldogs came back and won two straight sets to tie the match. The crowd took over during the deciding fifth set, yelling and cheering the team on to the victory. Amanda Hill passed the 1,400 kills mark in the match, while Tricia Rodl eclipsed the 1,000 dig mark, with Rodl posting a career-high 29 digs in the match to do so.

September 4 – Cross Country @ Eye Opener Invitational
Two returners raced on Saturday, each running almost the exact time that they did last year at the same event. The difference was everyone else that led CSU to an 8th place finish. Adrienne Cuff again led the way with a 28th place finish. Susanna McKee ran an almost identical time as she did the previous year, but instead of finishing second on the team, was sixth. Hannah Burkholder, Mary Davidson, Heidi Dean and Morgan Nieto have all come in to their first season at CSU and immediately improved the program to where they feel they can compete in every meet.
The men’s team didn’t worry as much about competing as they did working together as a team. Andrew King still led the crew, but spent most of the time pacing Matt Smith, who finished second on the team. Brandon Harris also ran very well to finish third on the team. The men’s team finished 12th out of 21 teams.
