Greenwood is buzzing with excitement as the Lander University women’s volleyball team has clinched a share of the Peach Belt Conference regular-season title with a stunning 3-0 victory over their longtime rivals, Augusta. This thrilling match took place on January 17, 2025, at the Finis Horne Arena, where a record-setting 776 fans gathered to show their support.
The atmosphere in the arena was nothing short of electric as the crowd cheered on their team, proving yet again how much community support can impact a game. This event was particularly special as it was part of Lander’s second annual “Pack the Stands” night, organized by the first-year experience program. The event saw a generous sponsorship from Papa John’s, which undoubtedly helped draw in the large turnout.
When the final whistle blew, it marked a significant milestone for the Lander program. This victory not only allowed the team to clinch a share of the Peach Belt Conference title for the first time in their history, but it also came after years of battling past struggles against Augusta. The team showed remarkable determination and skill, leaving everything on the court.
Now, with their heads held high, the team is set to head to St. Augustine, Florida, this Friday to face Flagler College in a crucial matchup for the championship. Should Lander secure a win against Flagler, they would finish the conference with an impressive 7-1 record and claim the title outright. However, if Flagler emerges victorious, both teams will conclude with a 6-2 record, sharing the coveted title. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the team is more than ready for the challenge.
Reflecting on the success of the season so far, the head coach expressed immense pride in the team’s hard work and their ability to rise above prior challenges. He noted how essential it was for the players to experience such an exhilarating win against a rival that had been tough to beat in past competitions. The victory is a testament to the grit and resilience that defines the team.
The coach also highlighted the palpable significance of the atmosphere during the game, as the community rallied together to cheer on the players. With the record crowd present, it became evident that this victory was not just for the team but for the entire Greenwood community, creating a sense of unity and pride.
The team’s pursuit of excellence continues as they gear up for their next match. The challenge in St. Augustine is expected to be fierce, but the confidence and skills displayed in the recent win will undoubtedly serve as motivation. Lander’s volleyball squad has demonstrated that they are a force to be reckoned with, and their journey is far from over.
Fans, students, and community members alike are eagerly anticipating the upcoming match, as they hope to witness their team continue to make history. With the chance to claim the Peach Belt Conference title just around the corner, the stage is set for an unforgettable showdown that encapsulates the spirit of teamwork, determination, and community pride.
As the Lander University women’s volleyball team takes the next step in their journey, all eyes will be on them, hoping for a triumphant conclusion to their incredible season.
