STATESBORO, Ga. – After splitting the weekend matches in Tennessee, the Eagles return home for a six match home stand. This home stand will include Winthrop, UNC-Charlotte, Coastal Georgia, Gardner-Webb, Abraham Baldwin College, and Stetson. The blue and white will begin the home stand Saturday at 10 a.m. against Winthrop.
 
"We are looking forward to playing at home again," head coach Sander Koning said. "We play against two teams we had close losses to in the last two years. We are looking to turn that around this year. I believe we have the team to do it. Like many of these matches against good teams it will come down to who executes better. If we enjoy the critical moments, we should be putting ourselves in position to win."
