On Saturday, the Women's Softball Club hosted the 2015 South
Atlantic Regional Playoff Series at Nettles Park. The series was
double-elimination between teams from UNCC, Univ. of Florida, Univ. of Georgia
and Clemson. The Clemson team made it to the winners' bracket by defeating
Georgia in their first game. They defeated Florida (last year's College World
Series Winners) to make it to the Championship Round. In the Championship Round
our women lost the first game to Florida (who defeated Georgia to earn a spot
in the round) and won the second!! This earned Clemson the 2015 Trophy for the
South Atlantic Regional (with three wins over the SEC).
In winning the Regional, our team has received one of the 16
spots to play in The World Series on May 15-17
in Columbus, Georgia!! They will enter the series ranked
among the top 7 schools in the country for winning the tournament this
Saturday.
Their coach, Erik Muir (from Simpsonville, a volunteer
coach), and myself (their faculty advisor) could not be happier or prouder for
this hard working group of young women. Further, they did this mostly on their
own, in only the third year of organizing the team!
