VSU made history with a victory over Alabama-Huntsville in the Gulf South Conference men’s basketball tournament championship game on Sunday to earn the program its first-ever conference tournament title.
The game took place at the University of Montevallo.
The score was tight throughout most of the game. The No. 17 Blazers (17-4) held off a late surge from the No. 11 Chargers (14-3) to come out on top.
Head Coach Mike Helfer was emotional following the historic win.
“You dream about this moment for so long,” coach Helfer said. “You just try to get in a position to win the conference tournament and today, we earned that, and we played great. It’s so hard to make it this far and it’s even harder to win it, and I’m just proud of my team for getting it done.”
