Augusta University gained momentum entering Thursday's home opening Peach Belt Conference game against Georgia Southwestern with an 80-78 road win at UNC Pembroke Monday. Senior Keshun Sherrill scored 4 points in the final 29 seconds and Augusta was able to fight off a Pembroke comeback after the Jaguars built a 24 point second half lead with the help of a career high 15 points by sophomore Vlad Cobzaru.
Coach Dip Metress talked to me before Wednesday's practice in the interview above about the team's new substitution pattern, the 18-6 second half run the Cobzaru led "team B" used to build a big Jaguar lead Monday, and his team's defensive effort.
The Jaguars improved to 8-3 overall and 1-2 in league play. Augusta returns home for a two game home stand following a three game conference road trip in which Augusta lost two games in December against North Georgia and Columbus State.
The Lady Jaguars will shoot for their first Peach Belt victory after an 0-3 start. Here is the schedule for Thursday and Saturday's double-headers:
