March gladness for SSU women

SAVANNAH, Georgia -- The Savannah State women enter March with big goals in mind as well.

The Tigers are currently in second place in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, a game behind defending league champion Hampton.

But SSU (16-10) surprised the Pirates earlier in the season to hold the tiebreaker if the teams are deadlocked in the conference standings. Two games remain for both teams, but Hampton must play third-place Norfolk State — a school that handed the Pirates one of their two league losses this season.

Savannah State, a winner of six in a row, ends the regular season with games at home against North Carolina Central (7-19) and on the road against Florida A&M (8-18).

The Tigers would have to win just one of their last two games to earn a first-round bye in the upcoming conference tournament.
