Overview
The Valdosta State College Lady Blazers seem to possess an invisible asset that places them among the best teams in the nation. With limited resources they have emerged as a leader among large universities and other prestigious institutions in the field of women's athletics. How could a team from a small South Georgia college rise to such eminence in such a short period of time? The answer is simple — the invisible asset is the absolute commitment of a small group of girls and a determined coach.
