2010 Season
The Lady Eagles started off with an early pre-season record of 8-6, playing teams such as Duke University, University of Miami, and Auburn University. At the start of conference play the Eagles then went on a 4 match winning streak, slowly to be ended to the College of Charleston. In response the team then came back and won 10 straight games, 5 of them being home games, and 9 being conference games. Within this winning streak the team had a chance to travel to Jacksonville to play North Florida for the ninth straight win. The team also had a home victory over Furman University, coming back in the game to defeat the Paladins in a five-game thriller. Despite the winning streak the College of Charleston once again took the victory away from the Eagles in Hanner Fieldhouse on November 6, and ended the home winning streak of 12 straight matches. This put the team ending the regular conference season at a record of 15-2, earning the second seed in the South Division. This brought them to the Southern Conference Tournament held at Appalachian State, in Boone, North Carolina. The Eagles started the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament with playing Appalachian State. Soon to take a victory and continue to the semi-final round the team then was set out to play Elon University. The Eagles defeated Elon and were headed to the final round of the Southern Conference Tournament to play the College of Charleston Cougars, who has given the Eagles their only regular season losses. The team swept the Cougars in the finals and were then named Southern Conference Champions of the 2010 season.
