GCSU athletics announce fall 2007 schedules
The GCSU Department of Athletics has announced the fall 2007 schedules for men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s tennis and golf.
Cross country
The cross country schedules feature six regular season dates, including two dates where just one of the harrier squads will be sent.
Both teams hear their first starting pistol Sept. 1 at the North Georgia College Invitational. The women then take the next week off, while the men travel to Hanover, N.H. for the Dartmouth College Invitational Sept. 8.
Both teams travel to Georgia State Sept. 15 and Augusta State Sept. 22 before competing in the Georgia Collegiate Championships in Macon, Ga. Sept. 29. The women make the trip to Arizona State Oct. 6, while the Tiger Twilight Invitational will see both teams Oct. 12, wrapping up the regular season.
The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship takes place at Augusta Oct. 20, as the men and women will look to improve upon their runner-up and fifth-place finishes in 2006, respectively. The NCAA Southeast Region Championship is Nov. 3 and Nationals will be Nov. 17.
Tennis
The tennis schedules feature four tournaments, two of which where both teams will compete.
The men unload their first serves Sept. 14-16 in the annual GCSU Men’s Fall Tournament at the Centennial Center Tennis Facility.
The women join the men Sept. 21-23 at the ITA Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament in Savannah, Ga. The Bobcat women have their chance Sept. 28-30 at the GCSU Women’s Fall Tournament in Milledgeville, and the abbreviated schedule comes to a close Oct. 5-7 at the Chick-Fil-A Collegiate Championships in Augusta, Ga.
Golf
The golf schedule features four tournaments, all similar to last season’s schedule.
The Bobcats tee it up at the Kiawah Island Invitational Sept. 10-11, in Kiawah, S.C. where they finished 10th last year. Next comes the Raines Development Group Intercollegiate in Florence S.C., Sept. 17-18. GCSU rounds out the month of September at the Coker College Invitational from Sept. 24-25 and finishes their schedule at the Cougar Invitational Oct. 1-2.
