Defensive Minded Clayton State Heads to Florida For PBC Meeting With Flagler

MORROW, Ga. – After a day's delay due to the weather, Clayton State (8-3-0, 1-0-0 PBC) men's soccer travels to Florida to take on Flagler (1-9-1, 0-2-0 PBC) in Peach Belt Conference action on Sunday, October 20. Game time is set for 3:30 p.m. in St. Augustine. 

The Lakers are 4-10-1 in 15 all-time meetings with the Saints, dating back to the first meeting on October 26, 1996. FC would win that game 3-1 as they took the first three match ups before Clayton State picked up a 1-0 win on November 12, 2010.
 
Flagler would take the next three games before the teams tied, 2-2, on September 21, 2013. The Lakers then notched the next two before dropping the 2015 meeting 3-2 on September 19 and falling 4-3 on October 29, 2016.
 
In 2017 the teams met twice in a span of three days, with the Saints posting a late 2-1 victory in St. Augustine, Florida in the first outing on October 28. Clayton State, however, would have the last laugh as they headed right back down to Florida for the PBC Quarterfinals and delivered a last minute header for a 1-0 victory on October 31. Most recently the Lakers fell by a 2-1 margin at Laker Field on October 6, 2018.
