(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA)鈥� 大发六合彩鈥檚 men鈥檚 basketball team continues its historic season this Saturday, February 18, at 7 p.m. in the Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference鈥檚 (EPCC) Final Four tournament. If the Phantoms win the semi-final round they will compete in the championship game on Sunday at 5 p.m. The College鈥檚 athletic department is hosting the conference at Widener University鈥檚 Schwartz Athletic Center (One University Place, Chester, PA). The tournament is free and open to the public.
The Phantoms, who finished this season with a record of 19 wins and two losses, are no strangers to the Final Four. They played in last year鈥檚 tournament and are eager to compete for a conference championship that has eluded them since 1996.
鈥淭he team started in October with a lot of individual talent and a plan from Coach Dwayne Saunders,鈥� says Andrew Johnson Jr., Director of Wellness, Athletics and Recreation. 鈥淎s the wins began to pile up the team got better and more confident. They are playing their best basketball right now and are excited about the opportunity to compete for a championship.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥檝e really worked on developing our bonding skills this season,鈥� adds Dameian Winns, Basketball Manager. 鈥淭hrough collaboration and teamwork we鈥檝e had a great year, and the entire team is ready to try and win the championship.鈥�
This season is the Phantoms last in the EPCC, so they are excited to possibly win the final basketball championship in the conference. Next year, the Phantoms will play in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Moving to the NJCAA will give student-athletes at the College the opportunity to compete at the national level against stronger competition. The association also promotes stronger academic standards, so students will be better prepared to transfer to a four-year institution.
