The South Georgia Technical College women's basketball team has quietly built a stellar program in recent years. With a vision and purposeful planning, coach James Frey, in his fifth season at the helm, and his staff have recruited smartly and found players, from near and far, including Japan, who fit in well with the Lady Jets' style of play and overall goals.

Freshman point guard Kanna Suzuki, who hails from Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, played a pivotal role in the team's success this season.

SGT, a two-year school that belongs to the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association, competed in the 24-team NJCAA Division I women's national tournament in Lubbock, Texas. The Lady Jets advanced to the second round of the tournament, falling 58-44 to Odessa (Texas) College on March 21 to end their special season.
