Clayton State Looks to Add Blemish to No. 14/14 North Georgia’s Near Perfect Home Record

MORROW, Ga. – Clayton State (9-8, 5-4 PBC) women's basketball hits the road for one of the toughest places to play in the entire Southeast Region as they head to No. 14/14 North Georgia (15-2, 8-1 PBC) on Saturday, January 25. Tip-off is set for 1:30 p.m. in the UNC Convocation Center where the Nighthawks are 26-1 since it opened in February of 2018.
 
The Lakers hold a 25-18 advantage in an all-time series that dates back to the first season of the program. That first meeting took place on January 29, 1992. After going 6-11 over the first 17 outings, Clayton State took control of the series, going 20-3 from February 22, 2006 through February 6, 2017. That stretch included 13 straight wins from January 23, 2008 through March 10, 2013.
 
More recently the Lakers held a four game winning streak including that February 6, 2017 meeting that resulted in a 58-57 victory. That streak was snapped by North Georgia on January 29, 2018 with a 70-65 decision at The Loch and has since grown to a Nighthawk series best five straight wins following last year's 70-60 win in the Peach Belt Conference Tournament Semifinals in Augusta, Georgia on March 9, 2019.
