It was a busy weekend for CSU as both the men’s and women’s indoor track and field programs began their seasons, men’s and women’s basketball continued in conference play and the tennis team took on a very solid ACC opponent to start their 2011 campaign.
CSU started off the week with an 85-74 victory over Asheville, a game in which Tull had 27 points and tied the record, earning her Big South Player of the Week honors. She followed up with 11 points against Liberty, including three long-range shots, the first of which put her all alone atop the career charts. She has now scored in double figures in six-straight games for CSU.
Also nominate: Jamarco Warren (Men’s Basketball), Edward Ponton (Men's Track and Field), Daisy Whitaker (Women's Track and Field)
January 17 – WBB vs. Asheville – W, 85-74 In the previous two games, CSU had struggled to score the basketball, but that was not the case on Monday as the Bucs dropped 85 on Asheville in a Big South victory. Katie Tull had 27 points and tied the Big South career record for 3-pointers made (more on that in a minute). A huge help in the victory was Helen Terry, who caught fire early and finished the game with 23 points. Kelsey Wasmer and Lakeitha Alston continued to be steady with 11 points each, finishing one-two in rebounded with nine and eight, respectively.
January 20 – MBB vs. Gardner-Webb – L, 50-58 Jamarco Warren hit five of the team’s seven 3-pointers but it wasn’t enough for the Bucs to steal a victory on the road in the Big South. Up by one at halftime, the Bucs looked like they were in good position as they have outscored nearly every opponent in the second half this year, but GWU proved too tough at home as they snapped a nine-game losing streak and beat CSU for the sixth time in a row.
January 21-22 – Track & Field at Virginia Tech Hokie Invitational Both track programs went up to Blacksburg this weekend to start the 2011 indoor season. Both had plenty of success in the early season with top-20 finishes in a highly competitive field. Daisy Whitaker broke the freshman shot put record, while Edward Ponton broke the 60m hurdles school record. A couple of other records nearly fell, but surely will by the end of the season.
January 22 – Tennis at #46 North Carolina State – L, 0-7 They knew it would be a tough matchup to start the season as the Bucs traveled up to face #46 N.C. State, and it was. Reigning Big South Player of the Year Olga Makhova was involved in the closest match as she fell 6-3, 6-1, while Alexandra Walters and Brooke Pletcher fell 8-4 in the closest doubles match.
January 22 – MBB at Asheville – L, 69-77Down by as many as 13, the Bucs cut the Asheville lead to two but couldn’t take the late lead as they again fell on the road in Big South play. Jamarco Warren did more into the top-10 in career points in the Big South and second in CSU history after dropping 22 points in the loss. Kelvin Martin had 16 points and Jeremy Sexton had 11, while Kenny Mitchell narrowly missed the double-double with nine points and nine rebounds.
January 22 – WBB at Liberty – L, 63-49Too much height was the name of the game as the Bucs went on the road to Liberty. CSU managed just a 29 percent clip from the field and 28 percent from 3-point range, while Liberty got big points from their starting five. Only four of the Flames’ 63 points came from the bench. With her first three of the game (she hit three total), Katie Tull move atop the leader board in career threes made in the Big South Conference, a tremendous accomplishment with 10 games to go in the regular season.
