JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Freshman Allyssah Mullis drove in three of the Eagles' four runs as Georgia Southern softball collected a 4-1 non-conference victory over Jacksonville University on Wednesday evening at the Pruitt Softball Complex in Jacksonville.

The Eagles (23-20) improved to 14-9 all-time against the Dolphins (23-21), while also winning its second out of its last three games. Georgia Southern returns to Sun Belt Conference play this weekend, traveling to No. 22-ranked Louisiana for a 2 p.m. ET doubleheader on Saturday.

"This was a great team win tonight," Georgia Southern Head Coach Kim Dean said. "We've been stressing over the last few weeks that we need to score early, score with two outs and also score in all parts of our lineup. Allyssah [Mullis] did a great job today, being successful with runners on. It was great rewarding a great senior and great leader in Heather [Felt], who came in and shut it down to give Rylee [Waldrep] some time after throwing a great game. All around solid defense, particularly from Hannah Farrell as well. I'm pleased with tonight's performance and looking forward to traveling to Lafayette this weekend."

Georgia Southern loaded the bases with one out in the top of the first inning, and pushed across a run on an RBI fielder's choice by Mullis to take a 1-0 lead.

The Eagles benefited from a pair of errors and a timely two-out RBI single from Mullis to plate two in the top of the third for a 3-0 advantage. Jacksonville got one back in the bottom of the third on a Madison Ragan RBI single.

Rylee Waldrep (10-8) kept the Dolphins in check offensively over five innings, giving up four hits and one run, walking one while striking out two.

Senior Heather Felt entered the contest for Georgia Southern in the sixth, and worked out of a two-on, one-out jam in the sixth. Mullis added an insurance run for the Eagles with a two-out RBI double in the seventh, and Felt closed out the Dolphins in the seventh to notch her first career save, hurling two innings of two-hit shutout ball, walking one while striking out one.

Alyssa Bilodeau (14-8) took the loss in the circle for the Dolphins, giving up five hits and three runs - one earned - in three innings of work, walking two while striking out three.

Mullis went 2-for-4 with three RBI to lead the Eagles offensively, while Ragan's 3-for-4 day paced the Dolphins.
