Clayton State Heads to Flagler Riding Longest Win Streak Since 2008-09 Campaign

MORROW, Ga. – Riding a six game win streak, the longest in close to a decade, Clayton State (15-5, 13-3 PBC) travels to head coach Jimmy Link's alma mater when they take on Flagler (7-13, 4-12 PBC) on Saturday, February 10. Game time is set for approximately 3:30 p.m. following the women's game.

The Lakers are hot on the heels of UNC Pembroke (18-4, 14-2 PBC) for first place due in large part to the program's longest winning streak since the 2008-09 season. That year the team won its first nine games before finishing 15-14. The longest winning streak in team history is 17 straight to start the 2006-07 season from November 21, 2006 through January 20, 2007.

Clayton State is 7-2 all-time against Flagler dating back to the first meeting on January 30, 2010. The Lakers won the first four meetings before the Saints notched an 82-68 victory on January 4, 2014 in St. Augustine, Florida. Clayton State then delivered a 75-65 win on January 17, 2015 at The Loch and an 87-73 decision at Flagler on January 16, 2016 before falling 83-80 in Morrow on January 16, 2017. Most recently, the Lakers notched a 74-65 decision to kick off the PBC season on December 2, 2017 in Morrow, Georgia.
