The volleyball team got a nice road win at the Georgia Southern Tournament, while the football team beat Mars Hill to close out its three-game home stand. The men’s and women’s golf teams also began their fall seasons. WBB player Katie Tull did our first video recap of the season, and we look forward to that each week. Keep checking www.youtube.com/csusports for all of those videos, as well as others.
Stevenson played a key role in Charleston Southern’s 28-14 win over Mars Hill Saturday. He caught six passes for 198 yards -- tied for the fourth-most in a single-game in Big South history -- and averaged 33.0 yards per catch. While he did not reach the end zone, Stevenson opened the game with a 26-yard kickoff return that jump started a two-play, 69-yard scoring drive to put CSU up just 0:53 into the game. On the first drive of the second quarter, the Bucs faced a 3rd-and-23, and Stevenson hauled in a jump ball for 26 yards and a first down. Three plays later he added another 27-yard catch on a third down play that set up the Bucs’ second touchdown. His third catch of the game was a 38-yarder on first down just before the half that put CSU in scoring position. Stevenson had a 27-yard catch on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter that eventually led to a field goal attempt, and added a 42-yard reception on 3rd-and-18 in the fourth quarter that led to another touchdown. He would add one more 38-yarder on the Bucs’ final scoring drive. Stevenson finished the day with 246 all-purpose yards and kept alive three scoring drives with his four third down catches.
Also nominated were: A.J. Toscano (football), Amy Arroyo (Soccer), Amanda Hill (Volleyball.
September 12 -14 - Women’s Golf @ Cougar Classic – 21st
The Lady Buccaneer golf team started their fall with a loaded field, facing teams like Mississippi State, Miami, North Carolina and Penn State. With only two returners, nerves may have played a part as the team did not post the numbers they would have liked, but still fared well, shooting 966 for the tournament to finish 21st overall. Amanda D’Ostroph led the team with a 233 to tie for 77th overall.
