BCSP Notes . . .
GSU's Eugene returns to form
Grambling State QB Bruce Eugene
has definitely retuned to the form that allowed
him to finish in the top three for the Walter
Payton Award (best offensive player in Div. I-AA)
in 2002 and 2003.
The senior has thrown for 2,858 yards and 35 touchdowns with just three
interceptions with three games left on his regular season
schedule. He has completed 56.8% (167 of 294) of his passes.
He is second in total offense (360.8 ypg.) and
passing efficiency (173.7) in I-AA.
With his four-TD performance Saturday vs. Alabama State, he has tied former Alcorn State and current NFL QB great Steve McNair with 118 career TD passes, second best in SWAC history.
NCCU repeats in CIAA Volleyball
The North Carolina Central Lady Eagles
volleyball team took the conference volleyball
championship for the second consecutive year Saturday with a
3-0 sweep (30-15, 30-18, 30-21) of Virginia
Union.
In 2004, the Lady Eagles won a hard-fought five-game match. On Saturday night, NCCU dominated from start to finish led by tournament MVP Brenda Brown's game-high 16 kills. NCCU held the edge in kills, 46 to 34 and amassed a whopping 10 service aces to only one for VUU. The Lady Panthers were paced by Gabriela Mokra with 14 kills and 8 digs.
"It's awesome," said NCCU head coach Ingrid Wicker-McCree about the Lady Eagles' repeat performance. "Staying healthy was key. Playing five matches in two days takes its toll. Plus, this is probably the deepest bench I have ever had."
The Lady Eagles are 29-13 overall and will receive an automatic bid to advance to regional play.
