UPPER MARLBORO, Md. -- Councilwoman Ingrid M. Turner presented a proclamation on behalf of the Prince George’s County Council to the Bowie State University Women’s Softball Team for their achievement of winning the CIAA Championship.

“Teamwork is so very important from beginning to end in order to accomplish goals such as this”, said Turner.  “What makes this even more special is that these ladies not only won the CIAA Championship this year, they also won it last year as well.”

The Lady Bulldogs (25-14) captured their second consecutive CIAA softball championship title (4/19) and advanced to its second straight NCAA softball regional.

“We try to use college athletics to allow our student-athletes to learn about life as they go through this process of participating in athletics,” said BSU Athletic Director Derek Carter. “They have a tough schedule trying to maintain an academic standard we hold them accountable for and expect them to be championship minded teams.”
