No. 5 Columbus State closed its regular season with a 1-0 loss at Montevallo, but still claimed the Peach Belt Conference regular-season title after going unbeaten in league play. The Cougars enter the conference tournament as the No. 1 seed.

By the Numbers
  • Columbus State finished the regular season 12-3-2 overall and 7-0-2 in conference play.
  • The Cougars put 7 of their 11 shots on goal; Montevallo had 14 shots and 8 on goal.
  • Goalkeeper Huda Sayedzada made 6 saves, while Montevallo’s Ciara Duff stopped all 7 shots on target.
Yes, But

Despite creating chances and testing Montevallo’s goalkeeper seven times, Columbus State couldn’t find an equalizer. The loss ended the regular season on a setback, but did not change the Cougars’ conference title or top tournament seed.

What's Next

Columbus State hosts No. 8 seed USC Beaufort in the Peach Belt Conference Tournament quarterfinals Saturday, Oct. 31, at 2 p.m. at the Walden Soccer Complex.

Bottom Line

The regular-season finale was a loss, but Columbus State’s unbeaten conference run secured the No. 1 seed—and home-field advantage to begin its postseason.
