COLUMBUS – The Peach Belt Conference Women's Soccer Tournament begins on Saturday night for the No. 2-ranked and top-seeded Columbus State Women's Soccer team.
 
The Lady Cougars (16-0-1) made it through PBC play with a perfect 9-0 record during the regular season and will welcome eighth-seeded USC Beaufort (S.C.) for a 7 p.m. ET match at the Walden Soccer Complex on Saturday.
 
Columbus State defeated the Sand Sharks (7-5-4) in a 4-0 victory in Bluffton, S.C. for the PBC season finale a week ago and will look to replicate the result on Saturday. With a win, CSU would host both semifinal matches on Friday, Nov. 15 and the championship match on Sunday, Nov. 17 as the highest remaining seed.
 
USCB finished the season with a 7-5-4 overall record while finishing PBC play with a 3-4-2 record. The Sand Sharks finished the regular season against the Lady Cougars last Saturday.
 
CSU finished up the regular season on Wednesday with a road trip to Montevallo (Ala.) in non-conference play, securing a 5-0 win in the process. The Lady Cougars finished the regular season besting opponents 77-8 in total scoring with just one tie on the slate.
 
In the last meeting versus USCB, CSU secured a 4-0 win by out-shooting the Sand Sharks 25-5 overall and 16-3 in shots on goal. Sarah Hungerford led the charge with a hat trick a week ago and has been red-hot for the Lady Cougars as of late. Hungerford has recorded seven goals in the last five contests for CSU, leading the Lady Cougars as the top points producer with 26.
 
Columbus State has been selected as the top seed for the tournament three out of the last four seasons and have made it to the championship match for four-straight seasons. The defending tournament champions are set to host eighth-seeded USCB on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET.
