Highlighting this week’s action at CSU was a baseball sweep of Siena, the softball team’s runner-up finish at the 2011 Lowcountry Invitational, and a historic women’s basketball victory over Liberty.
Fresh off his victory in the 2011 Charleston Shootout, men’s golfer Jacobo Pastor has been named this week’s CSU Athlete of the Week.
The victory was the first individual crown in a tournament in five years. To earn the victory, Pastor had a shoot a seven-under, 209 to claim the one-shot victory over Campbell’s Vaita Guillaume, who shot a 64 in the first round. Pastor put together rounds of 68-72-69 for the victory.
Also Nominated - Derek Smith (Baseball), Lavon Allen (Track), Trea Steele (Softball)
February 28 – WBB vs. Liberty – W, 54-51
The week couldn’t have gotten off to a much better start for CSU as the women’s basketball team took down Liberty, winning for the first time since January 18, 1999. Although it got close midway through the second half, the Bucs never trailed in the contest after jumping out to an 8-1 lead and holding Liberty without a field goal for more than four minutes to start the game. Kelsey Wasmer had 16 points and nine rebounds, while Katie Tull and Helen Terry added 13 and 11 points, respectively for CSU.
February 28 – March 1 – M. Golf @ Charleston Shootout – 5th
Jacobo Pastor posted an outstanding finish, improving by three shots to win the 2011 Charleston Shootout, helping CSU to a fifth-place finish as a team. The final team score of 886 (+22) put them just behind Baylor, who won the event, and Radford, who claimed third, but put them ahead of other Big South competitors Gardner-Webb, High Point and Presbyterian College. Jonathan Rustin finished 22nd, while David Denlinger claimed 43rd.
March 1 – Baseball vs. Savannah State – W, 5-3
Nick Chinners earned his senior-captain title with a 3-for-4, 2-RBI performance as he led the Bucs past Savannah State 5-3. The bullpen of CSU proved solid as three relievers combined to pitch 6.2 scoreless innings, only allowing a single hit during that span. The Bucs actually trailed by as big as a 3-1 margin going into the bottom of the third, but score a run in the third, two in the fifth and an insurance run in the seventh to claim the victory.
March 1 – MBB @ Asheville (Big South Quarterfinals) – L, 73-63
Just a few days after feeling like they had a chance to host the first round of the 2011 Big South Tournament, the Bucs found that their season was over after a road loss to eventual champion Asheville on Tuesday. Kelvin Martin scored the 1,000th point of his career and Jamarco Warren continued his tear down the stretch with 20 points, but the Bucs couldn’t steal the victory on the road, and the season came to an end, also ending the CSU career of Warren, who leaves as the second leading scorer in CSU history.
March 4-5 – SB vs. Lowcountry Invitational – 2-2 Record
The Bucs posted a 2-2 overall record and claimed runner-up honors at the final home tournament of the season. CSU split their games each day, falling to USC-Upstate on day one before bouncing back to beat Georgetown 8-6 in the last game of the day on Friday. Knowing they needed to win to earn a spot in the championship game, the Buc offense exploded for 11 runs against UNC Wilmington, winning on a walk-off homerun in the fifth inning by Megan Lombard. That meant the Bucs got another shot at Upstate, who has one of the best pitchers in the country. The Bucs did some damage in the championship game, scoring a couple of runs and had a chance at some more, but fell 5-2, finishing as the runners-up.
March 4 – WBB vs. Coastal Carolina – L, 61-58
The basket seemingly had a lid on it to start the game as CSU was dreadfully cold in the first part of the contest, going 0-13 out of the gates and falling in a 15-0 hole on what they had designated senior night, even though they have one regular-season game remaining. The shooting did eventually pick up for CSU and they even had a chance to tie the game after a missed free throw as time wound down, but an errant pass ended the hopes of a last-second shot, devastating the four seniors.
March 5 – Track @ Virginia Tech Final Qualifier
Only a few Bucs went to Blacksburg to compete, and while they all put down solid performances, they did not get the marks that they were hoping to. Javon Young finished fourth in the 60m dash and seventh in the 200m dash, while Lavon Allen claimed third in the long jump. Despite the placements, CSU failed to improve their best marks of the season, and will continue to sweat out a bid to the 2011 NCAA Indoor National Championships, which they should find out on Monday evening.
March 5 – Baseball vs. Siena (DH) – W, 14-8, W, 5-4
Trailing big late in the game, CSU found a 10-run sixth inning, including three homers in the frame to take a commanding lead and a victory in game one of the day’s double header. The second game would not be so lopsided, as the heroics came even later, as Derek Smith pounded out an RBI single, scoring Brantley Meier for a walk-off victory in the bottom of the ninth inning. Smith finished the game 3-for-4 with four RBI, while Corey Deighan picked up the victory on the mound.
March 6 – Baseball vs. Siena – W, 5-4
The Bucs earned the sweep with a 5-4 victory on Sunday behind Brantley Meier’s 3-for-4 day. Cody Austin also had a couple of hits and knocked in two runs, the only Buccaneer with multiple RBI on the day. After proving so solid for the majority of the season, the bullpen was rocky at best for CSU in Sunday’s game, forcing the Bucs to use five pitchers in the final three innings, getting into a precarious spot with the bases loaded, before getting out of the jam to maintain the lead. Anthony Markham ended up earning the victory, while Corey Deighan got his fourth save of the year.
