January 31, the Lady Blue Hose hosted the Winthrop Eagles for a home game. Both the Lady Blue Hose and the Eagles have lost 2 conference games, winning the other 7. The game started out with the Blue Hose winning the tip off. The Winthrop Eagles made the first basket of the game, giving them a lead. In the first two minutes of the game, the Eagles gained a lead 5 to 0.
Coach Tommy Spangler
The Blue Hose football team is about to experience a very good change. After being away for seven years, Coach Tommy Spangler will return to PC on March 1st as our new defensive coordinator. When he began his work with the Blue Hose in 1997, he was the defensive coordinator. He continued to coach defense in 2001 when he took the reins and assumed the role of head coach. As a head coach, he accomplished many things including a South Atlantic Conference title and the best winning percentage of any coach in PC football history. Coach Spangler is regarded as one of college football’s best defensive coaches and recently was a finalist for the Broyles Award for the top assistant coach of the year.

A double header between the PC women and men’s basketball teams against Radford and Campbell Universities, respectively. PC Women played at 5, followed by PC Men at 7:45.

If you think that you’re the only one with these less-than-optimistic thoughts, worry not. Athletic director Brian Reese described the season as “difficult … and disappointing”. Apparently, quite a few integral players sustained extensive injuries at the beginning of the year causing the season to take a different turn than expected.
