The Lander University women's volleyball team celebrates their historic victory against Augusta.
Lander University’s women’s volleyball team made history by defeating Augusta 3-0, attracting a record crowd of 776 fans. This win gives them a share of the Peach Belt Conference regular season title for the first time. The team is now preparing for an upcoming match against Flagler College, where a victory will solidify their success. Coach Reynolds expresses pride in the team’s resilience and teamwork, while the community celebrates this milestone achievement.
It was a thrilling night in Greenwood, where the Lander University women’s volleyball team made history by sweeping their longtime rival, Augusta, with a decisive score of 3-0. The victorious match, held at the Finis Horne Arena on January 17, 2025, attracted an impressive record-setting crowd of 776 fans, making it an unforgettable experience for players and supporters alike.
With this well-earned win, the Bearcats clinched a share of the Peach Belt Conference regular season title for the very first time in the program’s history! This achievement reflects the incredible hard work and determination of the team throughout the season.
As if this victory wasn’t enough reason to celebrate, the Bearcats are now gearing up for their next challenge as they prepare to travel to St. Augustine, Florida. Here, they’ll go head-to-head against Flagler College. The stakes are high: if Lander wins, they will finish the conference season with a splendid 7-1 record and take home the championship title all to themselves! However, if Flagler takes the victory, both teams will finish with a respectable 6-2 record, sharing the title.
The atmosphere at the Finis Horne Arena was electric, thanks in part to the second annual “Pack the Stands” night, an event organized by Lander’s first-year experience program. With Papa John’s as the event sponsor, fan engagement reached new heights, adding more excitement as students and community members rallied to support their team.
This win against Augusta was particularly sweet for the Bearcats, especially considering past struggles in similar high-stakes match-ups. The volleyball team has endured its fair share of ups and downs over the years, but the triumph on this night stands as a testament to their resilience and teamwork. Coach Reynolds shared immense pride in the squad, recognizing the significance of competing against their long-standing rivals in front of a vibrant home crowd.
This season has been one for the books, and Reynolds emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum. The Bearcats have shown remarkable prowess on the court, and as they move toward the final matches, there’s a palpable excitement in the air. Everyone is hopeful that they can extend their winning streak and finish strong.
No matter the outcome in Florida, this season has already marked an incredible journey for the Bearcats. The growth and development of this team have inspired fans and students alike. Everyone is eagerly anticipating the next match, hoping they can continue their historic streak.
As the Bearcats prepare for their next challenge at Flagler, all eyes will be on them as they aim to make Lander University proud. Whether it’s a shared title or a solo championship, one thing is certain: this season has ignited a newfound enthusiasm around the Lander volleyball program, and the community couldn’t be happier.
