Our 2008 fall sports previews continues with the outlook on the Peach Belt Conference. So, what are waiting for? Let's get started!
Volleyball: Despite a second place finish (6-4 in 2007) in PBC play last year, Lander was selected to finish first out of six teams in this year's regular season race. Armstrong Atlantic State and two-time defending regular season and tournament champion USC Aiken also figure to find themselves in the mix for the top spot in PBC volleyball in 2008.

Women's Soccer: Columbus State (20-3-2 overall in 2007) is coming off the best season in the program's four-year history, reaching the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II tournament, and bring back seven starters that look to go even further this season. Armstrong Atlantic State (14-5-1) looks to be a strong challenger to the Lady Cougars supremacy, as the Lady Pirates lose only three starters from the squad that has finished in the PBC standings two years in a row.

Men's Soccer: If the vote in the preseason coaches poll is any indication, expect a tight two-way for first place between Clayton State and Lander, as both teams were separated by only one vote. The Lakers lose 10 starters from last year's team, while the Bearcats bring back all league players Aaron Brittain and Jamie Ramm for 2008. Oh, and Lander begins the season ranked 18th nationally.
