Final Score: Week of Jan. 27

 

Women’s Basketball
Prior to the men’s game that Saturday in which Hunter set the record, it was the women’s team’s turn to take the court against Lousiana-Lafayette. The result was inauspicious for the Panthers as they lost to the Ragin’ Cajuns by a final score of 63-56.
Instrumental in the Panthers’ loss to UL-Lafayette was going zero for 15 from beyond the three-point arc. Georgia State faces UT-Arlington on the road on Thursday at 6 p.m.

Women’s Track & Field
The team participated in two meets over the weekend, both hosted by the University of Alabama-Birmingham. Both days saw strong showings from the Panthers. On Friday, Georgia State got wins from Alysiah Whittaker in the shot put and LaPorscha Wells in the weight throw. Saturday would see another Wells weight throw win and a Panthers victory in the 4×400 relays. The team’s next meet is on Feb. 6-7 in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Men’s Tennis
Georgia State evened its record on the young season to 1-1 in what was the first victory in the career of head coach Brett Ross. Jannis Koeke, Zack Kennedy, Sebastian Acuna, and Joseph Bishop all notched singles wins for the Panthers who also picked up a pair of victories in doubles competition.
