RALEIGH, North Carolina -- Yes, they sure can play some college basketball in these parts. And this spring it’s the Lady Bears of Shaw University who have the honor of bringing home to the Triangle a national title – the first in Shaw’s long history.“We came. We saw. We conquered,” said Athletics Director Al Carter as the team was welcomed back to its downtown Raleigh campus Saturday afternoon. No apologies to Julius Caesar were needed.
The Shaw team’s final push to glory came Friday in San Antonio, in the finals of the NCAA Division II women’s tournament. The Lady Bears played the Eagles of Ashland (Ohio) College – a No. 1 seed in the 64-team field. The Eagles had won 33 straight games. Until they tangled with the Bears.
