The Clayton State mens soccer team lost another heartbreaker

in a season of seemingly endless heartbreakers. The Lakers

traveled to Augusta last Thursday to take on the Augusta State

Jaguars. With less than twelve minutes to go in the game, the Jaguars'

Ryan Marshall found the back of the net. The Lakers are now 4-8

overall and winless in the Peach Belt conference. Four of the

Lakers' last five losses have been decided by one goal and two of those

games have gone into overtime. They play the University of

Montevallo in Alabama today at 3 p.m.

The girls team fared better with a 3-0 win over Mount Olive

College on Saturday. They were playing without four starters in

the lineup and still coasted to the win. It was the first win on the road

for the Lady Lakers since Sept. 21, 1996. Freshman

Michelle Roberson had two goals in the victory, which was the fifth

shutout of the season for Clayton State. Roberson now leads the team

in scoring with five goals. The Lady Lakers play today at the

University of Montevallo at 5:30 pm.

The cross country squads had a terrible outing on Saturday at

the Furman Invitational. men finished 18th while the women

finished 18th in the 24 team races. Sophomores Danielle Guthrie and

Nike Amondi were the bright spots for the women as they both

continued to lower their times. Junior Manny Juarez was only five seconds

off of his time for the men while freshman Neil Faulkner

lowered his time by an amazing 57 seconds.

Clayton State hosts the Harrier Meet today. Morris

Brown College and Clark Atlanta University will join the Lakers

and Lady Lakers in the tri-meet. " Ths will be a chance for people in

the area to come out and see us run, visit the school and see what

we're all about." states Coach Mike Mead. The womens race begins

at 4pm while the mens race begins at 4:45.
