It was an exciting Wednesday in the Peach Belt Conference, as one of that league's last unbeaten women's teams fell hard, while the Gulf South Conference opens league play in the East Division Thursday night.
First off, in the PBC, the Francis Marion Patriot women's quest to run their record to 10-0 fell by the wayside, thanks to Meredith Legg and her game-high 23 points, as the USC Aiken Lady Pacers cruised to a surprisingly easy 75-57 win over FMU. The USCA women improved to 11-3 overall, and 3-1 in conference play with that victory, while the Patriots fell to 9-1 and 2-1 in Peach Belt contests.
In other PBC action, Garrett Siler scored 22 points, while collecting 10 rebounds, as the Augusta State men crushed UNC Pembroke 81-46, while the Clayton State women staved off a strong challenge from Columbus State in pulling out a hard-fought 71-68 win at home. The Laker women stayed unbeaten in PBC play at 4-0, while improving to 10-1 overall, with the win.
Finally, teams in the GSC East officially open Gulf South Conference play Thursday, as Montevallo begins its final season in the season in that conference paying a visit to West Georgia. In other games, Alabama-Huntsville hosts West Florida in a battle of men's teams with identical 7-5 records, while the North Alabama men take their 10-5 overall record into the start of conference play against 6-7 West Alabama.
