SEASON REVIEW, 2007-2008

The Southeastern University women's basketball team made history in 2007-2008 as the Lady Fire repeated as South Region Champions and racked up their fourth South Region title in five years.

The Lady Fire made this historic run despite having numerous injuries, including the loss of three starters from last year's championship team that went 26-11 and finished third in the nation.

Senior Currie Powers was only able to play in eight games this season. For Head Coach Ed Plastow, trying to replace Powers' 11.5 points and 12.3 rebounds per game from last season was a difficult task, but Plastow was still able to coach the remaining healthy players to a 21-16 overall record this season.

Southeastern made its fifth straight appearance in the NCCAA II National Tournament and finished in sixth place this season.

The Lady Fire fell to No. 3 seed Hillsdale Free Will Baptist in the first round of the tournament, which was held in Grayson, Kentucky.

SEU came back in round two, defeating No. 2 seed Philadelphia Biblical University, 74-55, before falling to Southwestern College, 67-61, in the final round.

For five consecutive years, Southeastern has won over 20 games.

Charity Kidder was named the 2008 South Region Player of the Year and was also named a First Team NCCAA II All-American.

Freshman center Casey Jensen was named First Team All-Region, along with being named an NCCAA II All-American Honorable Mention.

Jensen had quite a successful season in her first year at Southeastern, considering she was also named a First Team NCCAA II All-American in volleyball.

Heather Kitts and Sarah Woesch both were named South Region Honorable Mention.

Head Coach Ed Plastow ended the 2007-2008 season by winning his 177th game at Southeastern, leaving him just 23 wins away from 200 wins for his career.

Coach Plastow was the men's basketball coach at Southeastern from 1999-2001 and led the Southeastern men to the NCCAA II National Tournament in 2001.
