MORROW, Ga. – One of the highest scoring teams in NCAA Division II, No. 19 Clayton State (4-0, 0-0 PBC)  men's soccer returns home as a nationally ranked team for the first time in nearly eight years and is set to host Montevallo (1-1-1, 0-0-0 GSC) in non-conference action on Thursday, September 19.
