Tusculum College is offering the opportunity for fans to travel to Greenwood, S.C. on Monday, March 15, to cheer on the Pioneers as they take on 11th-ranked Lander University at 7 p.m. for the right to advance to the NCAA II Elite Eight in Missouri.
Anyone interested in traveling as a group on a 55-passenger Greene Coach bus should contact Suzanne Richey at 423-636-7304 or email srichey@tusculum.edu as soon as possible. Seats will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis and the deadline for making a reservation is 9 a.m. Monday, March 15.
Seats are being made available to students as well. (Interested students are encouraged to contact Jonita Ashley-Pauley at 423/798-7820.)
In order to absorb the cost of the bus, the College is suggesting a donation for the trip of $50 per person (does not include meal or game ticket), but because we want our Pioneer fans to be able to join us, donations of any size will be accepted. Donations will be collected prior to departure. The bus will leave from Niswonger Commons at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, will stop for dinner and will arrive in time for the 7 p.m. game start. Game tickets will be purchased at arrival and will be $5 per person.
Everyone participating is encouraged to wear their orange and black and to be prepared to cheer on Coach Adell Harris and the team to a victory over host Lander University.
Again, please let us know if you would like to reserve a seat on the bus as soon as possible, as we will be making a final decision based on a minimum number of reserved seats by 10 a.m. on Monday morning. Those who have made reservations will be notified when the final decision has been made. Hope to see you there!
Go Tusculum Pioneers!
