“We are really proud for both our teams,” said Coach Mike Sullivan. “This is a huge accomplishment and honor for both our squads and for the college. We came close last year and all the players made this part of the goals they wanted to achieve this season and we can’t be more proud to see all their hard work in the classroom get this type of national recognition.”

“This has not been an easy start to the season for the girls,” said Coach Mike Sullivan. “Opening the season with Delta State and then facing a Meridian team that will be in the mix for the state championship at the end of the season is tough to ask of any team. We have a lot of young girls that are having to adjust to the collegiate level of play in a hurry, but you want to play up a level to help you get better as the season progresses.”
“It’s good to play teams like Delta State to get us ready for the tough competition that’s ahead of us this season,” said ICC assistant coach Cody Carson. “I thought we played well… and I’m proud of the girls.”
