STATESBORO, Ga. – For the first time this season, the Georgia Southern women's tennis team competes back-to-back at home, playing Stetson on Tuesday after taking down Nicholls State 4-3 last Friday. These two matches are part of a four-match home stand for the Eagles at the Wallis Tennis Center that extends through March 13.
 
Tuesday's matchup against the Hatters, who are 3-3 this spring, starts at 2 p.m. Georgia Southern and Stetson both have beaten South Carolina State this season—the Hatters with a 6-1 win and the Eagles with a 5-2 win. Other than that, the teams have faced different opponents this season.  
 
The Blue and White, now 6-3 overall and 2-1 in Statesboro, have had strong doubles play lately, winning five of the last seven doubles points, and look to continue that trend through Tuesday. Of those matches, the 1-0 lead helped them win four out of five matches. So far, the team has only lost one match when they have clinched the doubles point.  
 
After Stetson, Georgia Southern moves onto face Southern Miss and UNCG at home.
