Coach Scott Johnson’s Rams posted shutouts by scores of 11-0 and 8-0 in Saturday’s doubleheader and came back on Sunday to gain a 5-1 victory. (See photo on 2B). The defending Region 10-Division II champion Southeastern team is carrying a 32-14 season record and a 23-9 record in Region 10 play. SCC had already recorded three-game series sweeps over Wilkes Community College, Lenoir Community College, Stanly Community College and College of the Albermarle and hopes to garner another sweep this weekend when the Rams are scheduled to play host to last place New River Community College of Virginia. Saturday’s doubleheader is set to begin at 1 p.m., with Sunday’s game scheduled to get underway at noon. Before closing out their regular-season schedule next week- end against New River, the Rams will travel Tuesday to meet Florence-Darlington Tech of South Carolina in a 1 p.m., double- header at Florence’s Legion Stadium. Florence-Darlington, currently ranked eighth nationally among NJCAA Division I teams, came away with a rain-short- ened 5-4 victory over host SCC last Thursday. Heavy rain hit the field in the sixth inning and the second game of the scheduled doubleheader was eventually canceled. The Southeastern squad will compete in the 2012 Region 10- Division II Tournament, which is scheduled for May 11-15 at Big Rock Stadium in Morehead City. Last season, SCC swept the Region 10 tournament title in four straight games at Morehead City, earning a trip to the 2011 National Junior College Athletic Association Division II World Whiteville High players Maleah Murray (1) and Kendall Bush (20) are engaged in a midfeld battle for possession Series in Enid, Okla. of the ball in Friday night’s non-conference soccer match with visiting 4A Lumberton.
