Clayton State Continues Extensive PBC Slate With Trip to Georgia College

MORROW, Ga. – Clayton State (7-3, 5-1 PBC) enters the week tied for first place in the Peach Belt Conference and opens things up with a trip to Georgia College (7-5, 3-3 PBC) on Wednesday, January 10. Game time is set for approximately 7:30 p.m. following the women's contest.
 
The Lakers trail the all-time series 25-23 dating back to the first meeting on December 8, 1990 in the first season of the program. It is also the most frequent series with 46 meetings. GC dominated the first 12 meetings, winning 10 of them, but Clayton State has gone 21-14 against the Bobcats since then, a stretch that began on January 13, 2001.
 
Over the last 12 meetings the Lakers are 8-4 but Georgia College has won three of the last four. Clayton State snapped what was a three game win streak for the Bobcats with a 69-65 victory in the most recent meeting at GC on February 18, 2017. That win also kept them alive in the race for the Peach Belt Conference regular season championship, which they would go on to win in their next game.
 
Coverage of the game will be available on live stats and live video on www.ClaytonStateSports.com.
