AUGUSTA, Ga. - Third-seeded Augusta State takes on No. 6 Lander in the quarterfinals of Friday’s Peach Belt Conference Championships, hosted by USC Aiken at the Convocation Center in Aiken, S.C.

The Jaguars, in the midst of their second-winningest season in the program’s history, will take on Lander at 8:00 p.m., Friday night in the fourth and final match of the day.

The format for the 2009 tournament has been revamped, with the championship being extended to a third day.

With a victory over Lander, ASU will match the school record -- first set in 1995 -- for victories in a season with 23. The Jags will face the winner of No. 2 Armstrong Atlantic State and No. 7 Francis Marion on Saturday evening at 6:00 p.m.
