DII Sports Festival Concludes - Pirates Bask In Championship Glory
The second-ever DII Spring Sports Festival concluded on Saturday night with the closing ceremonies at Discovery Green in downtown Houston. Food, games and a live band entertained participants from all six sports competed throughout the five day event.
The men's and women's teams were awarded (again!) their championship trophies and head coach Simon Earnshaw was asked to address the crowd after each team came up on stage. There have been only three DII Sports Festivals so far (2004 in Orlando, 2006 in Pensacola (fall sports) and 2008 in Houston) and AASU is the first school to win two National Championships in the same festival.
After the presentations, a spectacular fireworks display thrilled the crowd.
Sunday is travel day for the Pirates as they depart Houston at Noon, make a connection in Atlanta and return to Savannah at 6:57 p.m.
