ETTRICK, Virginia -- VSU Head Men's Basketball Coach Lonnie Blow, Jr. secured his 100th career win against his former CIAA institution, St. Augustine's University, on December 15 with a final score of 86-63.
Blow came to VSU in 2013 from St. Augustine's with a 62-27 record. Since then, he has lead the Trojans to a current winning record of 38-23, 6-2 this season.
"It is a great feeling to earn such a major accomplishment in my career," said Blow. "This accomplishment is also attributed to the other people that I have worked with through my career to include assistant coaches and student-athletes. They all helped make it happen."
Although Blow earned the victory over his former team, the St. Augustine's Falcons, he feels that it was just another game. "It is always great to go back and see familiar faces and players that you recruited, but when the ball goes up, you have to be ready to play hard," said Blow. "In any game that is played, you have to jump in and do your best!"
This monumental win has added to a week of great honors for Blow. In addition to the Trojans currently holding the highest CIAA men's basketball winning percentage of .750, Blow was also named CIAA Coach of the Week after taking down I-95 rival, Virginia Union University, on December 6.
Coach Blow will be back on the road with the Trojans for their Thursday, December 17 game against the Broncos of Fayetteville State University. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. VSU will round out 2015 on December 19-20 in Daytona Beach, FL for the Embry-Riddle Tournament.
