TOP WOMEN'S GAME

Columbus State (11-6, 7-3) at Augusta State (13-5, 7-4)--Monday 5:30 p.m. EST

Call the Peach Belt Conference the "pretty bizarre" conference.

That's because so far this season, teams in this competitive league have been beating up on each other left and right, with each team having at least two losses in conference play going into the early stages of February.

The CSU Lady Cougars are one of those teams, having won four straight games to put themselves in the hunt for the PBC regular-season title. On Jan. 30, the Georgia College & State University Lady Bobcats became the Lady Cougars fourth straight victim, as Columbus State posted a 62-47 win.

As for Augusta State, the Lady Jaguars have won three straight games going into this rare Monday night league contest, winning for the first time in the last six tries at Georgia College & State University. With the 85-62 rout of the Lady Bobcats on Groundhog Day (Feb. 2), the Augusta State women pulled themselves to within a half-game of Clayton State (13-6, 8-4), who downed UNC Pembroke 63-57 that same night, and idle Columbus State, who had the Super Bowl weekend off.

The nightcap of this Peach Belt Conference doubleheader pits the Cougars against the Jaguars.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars managed to bounce back from a 75-71 upset loss to North Georgia on Jan. 28, to pick up a 88-81 Groundhog Day win over the GC&SU Bobcats.
