MORROW, Ga. – Rivals Clayton State (10-5, 8-3 PBC) and Columbus State (6-9, 6-6 PBC) face off on Saturday, January 27. Game time is set for approximately 3:30 p.m. following the women's game at The Loch.
 
The Lakers trail the all-time series 30-14 dating back to the first meeting on February 17, 1996. Columbus State won the first five meetings through February 23, 1998 before Clayton State won four in a row through February 9, 2000. The Cougars won a series high seven straight and 10 of the last 13 since February 16, 2011.
