Clayton State Opens Two Game Road Swing at Francis Marion

MORROW, Ga. – Having won three of their last four, Clayton State (13-7, 9-5 PBC) women's basketball begins a two game road trip as they head to Francis Marion (8-10, 5-9 PBC) looking to sweep the season series on Saturday, February 8. Game time is set for 1:30 p.m. in Florence, South Carolina.
 
The Lakers lead the all-time series 24-13 dating back to the first meeting on January 10, 1998. FMU notched an 86-61 victory that day as part of a six game win streak and 10 of the first 12 outings through March 2, 2004.
 
Since then Clayton State has won 22 of the last 25, including 13 straight from February 28, 2009 through January 7, 2017. Overall, they have defeated a ranked Patriots squad six times, headlined by an 86-60 decision over the No. 7 ranked team to start the last win streak.
 
On January 6, 2018, FMU snapped that streak with a 74-66 victory in Florence, South Carolina before the Lakers began a new one with a 68-63 decision at The Loch on February 3 later that year. Most recently they claimed an 80-60 victory in Morrow on January 12 of this year. While they are a stellar 12-3 at home, they are just 9-8 on the road in the series.
