Winning has its perks and for the champions of the SIAC that meant being the toast of Atlanta for a day. The Clark Atlanta University women’s basketball team was honored with a proclamation by the city of Atlanta on Monday.
City Councilmember Michael Julian Bond presented the honor to the 2018 SIAC Champions.
The Lady Panthers won this year’s basketball championship under first-year head coach Yolanda Moore. CAU finished the season at 20-9 after a first-round loss in the NCAA Tournament. With graduation quickly approaching, Monday’s event offered the ladies one more chance to be together as a team.
