The Voorhees College Lady Tigers recently played the Haskell University Lady Indians during the Association of Independent Institution (A.I.I.)  post season conference tournament in Lincoln, Il.

Ca’washa Ceasar, a 5’4 junior point guard, from Sumter S.C., scored 16 points, 4 steals, and 3 rebounds against Haskell.

“We gave it everything we had, and we fought all the way until the end. We left it all on the floor. I am proud of the effort we put fourth,” Ceasar said.

Shamaria Myers, a 5’5 freshman guard from Charleston S.C., scored 15 points, 4 steals, and 6 rebounds.

During the awards ceremony, which was held the night before, Lady Tiger Nijah Davis, a 6'0 senior forward from Sumter S.C. was named to the A.I.I. All-Conference Second Team. To receive this award, the player must have consistent outstanding stats. Davis averaged 23.6 points.

“Ending my senior year basketball season came sooner than I had hoped for, but it was truly a blessing to make it back to the tournament. I owe Coach Glover a huge thank you for providing me with this opportunity, and I give thanks to my teammates for working hard each day. I wish them well in their upcoming season,” said Davis.

In addition, D'Ariel Walker, a 5'7 senior guard, from Augusta Ga., who also serves as Miss Voorhees College 2018-2019, was also recognized as the Voorhees College Women's Basketball Team’s “Champion of Character.”

The team finished the season with an 18-12 record.
