GRR: Carolinas
The spring D1 women's college picture is fairly clear as the playoffs loom.
Myers Park defeated Ardrey Kell in impressive fashion to move to 2-1 in the Carolinas Boys Single School Division.
The only loss for Myers Park was against Charlotte Catholic. In this game captain and No. 8 Tye Mendenhall was a powerful presence, testing defenses with strong carries, while scrumhalf Tyler Palm kept the tempo up.
It’s a banner year for South Carolina. The women not only won the DII Carolinas conference after a 17-14 victory over the College of Charleston, but they are heading to the DII national championship to make some program history. It’s been a just payoff for the student leadership, as well as new coach Katie Wurst.
UNC Charlotte is hoping that yesterday’s win is an omen of things to come. The women’s DII college set a program first when it beat southern powerhouse Appalachian State (AHO) 25-15 in the teams’ Carolinas conference opener.
