The Lady Magicians finished 2-3 in this past weekends SIAC Cluster. Although they team dropped games against Spring Hill, Miles and Kentucky State, anyone that has watched their matches this season can see their growth.
The team picked up two wins against Central State and Tuskegee University. The Lady Magicians lost the first set in their match vs Tuskegee and then Rallied to win the next three sets, defeating Tuskegee in 4 matches.
Their game vs Central State was one for the ages. The match went to five sets and the Lady Magicians escaped with a narrow 20-18 victory in the final set. As impressive as the team was the student section was just as impressive, providing a a rowdy environment for the visiting team.
The Lady Magicians are currently 6th in the SIAC west division and will miss the postseason this year. Although there will be no post season for the team, they have played there best ball of the season over the course of the last 10 games.
"It's been a total team effort, with lots of girls pitching in and playing well, we've gotten better," said Lady Magicians head coach Reginald Morris.
