The Panthers lost six of their first seven games to open the season but have been a different team since December. Beginning with a December 8 OT win versus Lane College, CAU has won seven of its last eight games. The only loss during that span was a 91-88 decision on the road at Kentucky State.

Lynch’s team has earned the road warrior moniker since the beginning of 2019. The Panthers have played three straight on the road and have one more game to go before returning to Atlanta. CAU plays at Paine on Monday night in Augusta, GA.
