Weekly Recap - December 6-12

With finals last week it was a slow week for athletics, with just two on campus events, plus a couple of athletes who played in the FCS Senior Scout Bowl. Both basketball teams were victorious in their games, while the South won the senior bowl, thanks to the contributions of the Buccaneers, most notably Gerald Stevenson, who caught the game-winning touchdown pass with less than a minute to go in the game.

One other thing that needs to be mentioned was the untimely passing of Will Bedenbaugh, one of the CSU baseball players, who was killed in a car accident late Saturday night. A tremendous athlete and person, the news shook the entire CSU family, and we certainly want to let the Bedenbaugh family, as well as all of those who knew Will, know that our thoughts, our condolences and our sincerest prayers are with you all.

Jamarco Warren has been named the CSU Athlete of the Week after his game-high 27 points in the Bucs’ 106-61 victory over Milligan. His points moved him into a tie for third place in CSU history with 1,557 career points.

Warren connected on eight of his 13 shots, including a 3-5 mark behind the arc and hit eight free throws to lead the way. Warren completed his day with a team high in assists (6) and steals (5). 15 of his points came in the second half, including 11 during a 38-9 run in which CSU put the game out of reach.

Also nominated: Kelvin Martin (Men’s Basketball), Katie Tull (Women’s Basketball), Kelsey Wasmer (Women’s Basketball)

Saturday, December 11 – WBB vs. Pfeiffer – W, 74-59
Katie Tull scored a career-high 29 points, while Kelsey Wasmer added her third double-double of the season with 18 points and 12 rebounds, beating Pfeiffer 74-59 in the first game back after finals. CSU shot 41.7 percent for the game and hit a combined 10 three pointers (seven by Tull), adding 11 steals and forcing 26 Falcon Turnovers.

Saturday, December 11 – MBB vs. Milligan – W, 106-61
The first game back after finals, the men's team perhaps had some rust, holding a 45-39 lead after the first half against Milligan of the NAIA. If so, they shook it off nicely in the second, outscoring the visitors 66-22 in the second half, getting it done on both sides of the court. Kelvin Martin continued his hot-shooting, going 4-6 on the game and a perfect 6-6 from the free throw line for 14 points, adding a team-high 14 rebounds. Jamarco Warren scored a team-high 27 points as four of the five starters finished with double figures, and all but two people who saw time, scored at least two points.

What’s coming up?
December 15 – MBB vs. College of Charleston (North Charleston Coliseum) – 7:30 p.m.

December 17- WBB @ UNC Wilmington – 11:30 a.m.
