Facing some tough competition this week, Charleston Southern did not necessarily come away with the number of victories that they hoped, but it was still a positive week with a number of student-athletes earning all-tournament honors at their respective tournaments.
Amanda Hill and Amy Nokes earned their second such honor this season, doing so at the UNF Tournament, while Marky Boyce, Caitlin Wesnesky and Amy Arroyo were named to the all-tournament squad at the Navy Tournament.
Wesnesky found the back of the net off her own rebound to score the game’s golden goal in the 106th minute against the Midshipmen, who were ranked in the top 10 in the regional poll. It was her third goal of the season and helped her garner all-tournament honors.
Also considered for the honor were: A.J. Toscano (Football), Amanda Hill (Volleyball), Chris Patrick (Football)
September 7 – Volleyball vs. UNC Wilmington – L, 3-2
The only midweek contest for any of the CSU teams, CSU dominated the match, but came up short on the final scoreboard as the Seahawks used two extra-point sets to win. The Lady Bucs posted dominant 25-18 and 25-14 victories in sets one and three, but eventually dropped sets four (27-25) and five (15-11) to suffer their first home loss of the year. Amanda Hill had a career-best 29 kills with 12 digs and three aces, posting the most kills in a match since Jennifer Monson had 44 on Oct. 10, 2001.
