CHAMPIONSHIP
On Saturday, October 31, the MGC Women's

championship in Albany, Georgia with a 1-0 victory
over Darton College. Tashana Vincent scored the
lone goal with 22 minutes remaining on a pass by

key save in the penalty shutout. MGC is now 15-4
on the season and will now play Polk in the District
playoff on Friday with an opportunity to advance
to the national championships. "It's hard to put
into words how proud I am of these girls," said
Coach Vinny Gill. "On Saturday night we finished
playing at 11 pm and got back to Cochran at 2:30
am. To be able to come out and play like we did on
Saturday at 3 pm with a twelve-hour turnaround is
remarkable. You would never have known watching
the game that we were the team who had played
double overtime the night before." This is the first
Region title in the history of the MGC
program. "Three years ago the team won two
games all year," said Coach Gill. "To have
advanced this far is truly amazing and is a great
credit to the players" During the regular season
MGC had lost twice to Darton by one goal, the last
one in double overtime, so this victory was
particularly rewarding for the Lady Warriors. "We
spoke all week about how our women's basketball
team had lost to Darton twice last year before
winning the state title, and this lesson inspired us
to believe in ourselves." In other news on
Saturday, Tashana Vincent was name Region
Player of the Year and the great season of the
MGC men's team came to an end with a 3-1 loss to
Young Harris. Tyler Landress scored the lone goal
