The USC Salkehatchie Lady Indians won game two by a final score of 2-1 against Surry Community College. Surry Community College is in it's first year competing in the NJCAA Region X. According to their head coach, it was decided back in the fall that they would field a team and once it was decided, most schools had already recruited all the players in their area.
It wasn't too long ago that USC Salkehatchie head coach Mitch Smith was in the same situation, three years to be exact. Today in Allendale, South Carolina his team became the first to be at .500 during any point of the season. With the win by the Lady Indians today, they are now 6-6 on the season and 2-0 in Region X play.
Coach Smith said, " I knew this team would be special, we have a great group of leaders in our sophomores and an outstanding group of freshman. With my teams in the past, it has taken them time to gel but with this group they came together from day one. If we can continue to work hard and stay focused, these team has the potential to be the most special group ever in the history of USC Salkehatchie. It is a long season and we have a ways to go but at this point, I am very pleased."
The USC Salkehatchie Lady Indians are 6-6 overall and 2-0 in Region X. In last years Region X tourneyment, they finished 3rd.
