Clayton State Closes Out 2018 by Hosting Lincoln Memorial For First Time Since 2010

MORROW, Ga. – In one last hurrah for 2018 and before embarking upon 19 straight Peach Belt Conference contests, Clayton State (4-4, 1-2 PBC) women's basketball hosts Lincoln Memorial (6-4, 3-2 SAC) on Monday, December 31. Game time is set for a special 2 p.m. tip-off at The Loch.

All-time, the Lakers are 2-3 against the Railsplitters dating back to the first meeting on November 20, 1994. LMU won that game 73-56 before the teams took a 13-year hiatus. When the series resumed, it was Clayton State earning a 74-63 win on November 16, 2007 and a 64-55 decision on December 29, 2010. The latter is the last time the two teams have met at The Loch.
 
It would be another seven seasons before the teams would meet again, this time in the NCAA Division II Tournament on March 10, 2017. LMU would win that game 87-58 in Columbus Georgia before posting a much narrower 76-68 decision in Harrogate, Tennessee in the most recent meeting on November 18, 2017.
 
Coverage of the game will be available on both live video and live stats. All coverage will be available on www.ClaytonStateSports.com with a full recap following the contest.
