CLINTON, S.C. – The second-to-last home event of the campaign for the Presbyterian College lacrosse team, this Saturday marks a pivotal Big South Conference standoff between two teams looking to work their way back into the league's top six. PC welcomes Gardner-Webb for a 1:00 PM start.

Only four matches remain for the Blue Hose and head coach Eric Clakeley, currently right on the number six seed line along with two other teams in the Big South standings. Only the top six advance to the postseason, noting special significance for tomorrow's affair.

Gardner-Webb is one of the two schools who sports the same conference record as Presbyterian (1-3), competing for potential tiebreaker honors as both clubs enter the most important stage of the season.

LIVE STATS: Stat Broadcast


 
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
 
- The Runnin' Bulldogs are in rebuild mode after going 0-17 last spring, able to end that long losing streak on March 29 versus Longwood but still with just that one victory altogether.

- G-W has been held to single digits in the scoring department all but once in their 12 outings (the one exception was the 14-12 win against the Lancers), falling in their last two by a combined margin of 32 points.

- They've been able to muster a total of six goals in back-to-back losses to High Point and Mercer, allowing 194 scores at this point on the year.


 
LAST TIME OUT
 
- Presbyterian looks to shake off the cobwebs from a 21-4 defeat at Mercer's hands earlier this week, succumbing to an 11-0 mid-match run as the Bears secured their 28^th consecutive Big South triumph.

- PC's first conference win of the semester came at Radford nearly two weeks back in a 13-12 thriller, hoping to repeat the results of last season's W over Gardner-Webb in Boiling Springs.

- In that duel, the Blue Hose outgunned G-W 12-4 and were led by then-senior Kylie Sullivan who produced six goals on six shots. That was the first time since 2012 that a PC player scored six times in a single match without missing once.

- Coach Clakeley's unit will be searching for their first win over the Runnin' Bulldogs at home since 2015. Webb's last visit to Clinton in 2023 ended in a one-score decision, a match where the final goal was submitted with 1:57 on the clock.
