A new calendar year means the start of the conference play in earnest, and the Peach Belt Conference will set out to prove that's one other toughest NCAA Division II conferences in the nation once again.
In women's action, Augusta State (3-5) will look to improve to 2-0 in the PBC against Clayton State (7-1, 1-0) on the road. Meanwhile, in Aiken, S.C., preseason favorite USC Aiken hopes to bounce from an upset loss to Armstrong Atlantic State, and face a North Georgia squad that's also 0-1 in conference play. Francis Marion (8-0) will look to continue its perfect season against Georgia Southwestern State, while Columbus State (7-3) hosts Lander (6-2) in the league opener for the Lady Cougars. The Lady Bearcats, won their first PBC contest on Dec. 15, a 72-58 win over GSW.
The men's side isn't short on key match-ups. One of those contests pits Augusta State (7-1) against Clayton State (8-0). Both the Jaguars and Lakers enter this critical game at 1-0. Augusta's archrival--USC Aiken (6-2) hosts a North Georgia team that's 6-1 overall, but that one loss has come in PBC play, a tough 80-77 setback to Francis Marion on Dec. 15. Speaking of the Patriots, they'll hope to join their female counterparts in running their record to 9-0 at Georgia Southwestern this weekend.
