The Lady Eagles softball team finished the season 12th in the nation with a 14 -18 record, concluding the season on April 20th with two wins over Talladega College (8-6 and 9-5). The softball program graduated 3 seniors this year: Samantha Hale, Malina Graff & Victoria Graff. The Lady Eagles soccer team has been in the weight room this spring, running and playing a number of 4 v 4 games. In March the team played in the Montevallo 7 v 7 Tournament at the University of Montevallo. Their hard work and dedication this spring will certainly have positive returns during next fall’s tough schedule. Coach Ken Headley has scheduled several new teams, including a Division 1 school. This season the Lady Eagles tennis team played 10 matches and won many singles and doubles matches. Susan Moore won 1 singles match; Fatima Champagne won 2, Emily Dundore won 2; and Fatima and Emily won 2 doubles matches. Says Coach Anna Wood, “We competed very well against all the teams we played and look forward to building the prgoram in the future to bring home more wins!”
IHSA Teams: At March 3’s equine hunt seat regional show at Converse College in Spartanburg, SC, Megan Cook competed in advanced walk/trot/canter, and Rebecca O’Neal placed third in walk/trot competition. Lander University in Greenwood, SC, hosted the Western regional show on the same day. Andrea Luckie placed first in novice Western horsemanship. Corey Finlay placed second in intermediate Western horsemanship, and Jana Davenport placed third in beginner Western horsemanship. Corey, Andrea, and Jana went on to represent Judson in the Western semi final show March 24-25 at the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio.
Since summer’s been underway, Judson’s intercollegiate sports seasons have wound down, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been a lot of campus athletic activities! Faculty and staff have challenged students to tennis and softball, not to mention Parents’ Day basketball!
