MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. | The men's and women's cross country, women's soccer and women's volleyball teams at Georgia College & State University are in action this week as the fall season rachets up.

Women's soccer (1-1-0) is the lone team at home this week. GCSU hosts the University of Montevallo in a 7 p.m. midweek non-conference match Wednesday (Sept. 9) at the Bobcat Soccer Field. The Falcons are a familiar foe for the Bobcats as Montevallo were members of the Peach Belt Conference through the 2016-17 season. The all-time series with the Falcons is tied at 6-6-2. The last meeting between the two sides came in 2018 with the Bobcats recorded a 1-0 decision at home. GCSU hits the road for the first time Saturday (Sept. 12) with a 1 p.m. contest in Morrow, Georgia. The match will serve as the PBC opener for each team. The Bobcats hold a 13-8-4 edge in the all-time series with the Lakers. GCSU defeated Clayton State 4-0 last year in Milledgeville.

Women's volleyball (1-7) will be taking part in their third tournament in as many weekends as they travel to Florida to compete in the Triton and Lion Invitational co-hosted by Eckerd College and Saint Leo University.
