Georgia Southern (7-7, 1-2 SBC) has some momentum after putting together its best offensive performance of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Stetson. GSU had season-high totals in shots (22) and outshot the Hatters by an impressive 22-5 margin.

Victor Guirma with four points.
LAST TIMEOUT

Leeroy Mbuta.
