Jags To Face USC Aiken In Tourney

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Augusta State will face a familiar foe Saturday afternoon when the Jaguars open play in the Peach Belt Conference Softball Championships in Columbus, Ga.

The Jaguars will take on rival USC Aiken at 1:30 p.m., in the single-elimination tournament, hosted by Columbus State at Cougar Field on the CSU campus.

ASU (31-15) and the Pacers (25-16) met just three days ago at Satcher Field in Aiken, S.C. The two split a doubleheader, with the Jags taking the opener 1-0 on a Kristen Jones' solo homer in the seventh inning. USCA battled back to earn a split of the twinbill when the Pacers edged ASU 2-1 in the nightcap.

The Jags, who reached the championship game for the second time in school history in 2011, are the No. 3 seed in the tourney, while USCA is seeded No. 6. Play gets underway Saturday morning when second-seeded North Georgia takes on No. 7 Georgia College at 11:00 a.m.
