The women travel to Huntsville, Ala for their season finale next Sunday. The men were outshot 26-5 by the Argonauts and shutout by a score of 4-0. Clayton State drops to 7-10-0 on the season and will play host to USC- Spartanburg on Wednesday at 3 p.m.

The men and womens cross country team competed in the Peach Belt Athletic Conference cross county championships in Jacksonville, Fla. on Saturday. The mens squad finished seventh overall with 154 points. Tye Walker earned all conference honors, finishing 14th overall with a time of 27:37. The womens squad finished fifth overall with 146 points. Freshman Joni Guffey missed all PBAC honors by one place, finishing 18th with a time of 20:40.

"We met our expectations on the womens side but fell a little short on the mens side," Coach Mike Mead said. " We have one more race left to make our mark on this season."
