Klein off to Strong Start
Senior Jordana Klein finished third place in the Flight A singles at the Kennesaw State Fall Classic in Sept. and is looking to build on her 2-1 start in tournament singles this weekend at the Georgia Southern Invite. Klein is 10-11 in her career and went 8-10 in dual match play a year ago.

Stanford Takes Over the Reigns

Stanford was promoted to head coach on Sept. 12 after helping the program to a 10-11 record with a 4-5 mark in conference play. Stanford came to Georgia Southern after a standout playing career at Furman University.

Experienced Roster
The Eagles return seven student-athletes from the 2013-14 campaign and add in three newcomers to the mix. GSU brings back almost their entire singles lineup including lone senior Jordana Klein. Klein, a transfer from Murray St., went 6-8 at the #2 singles position and was 8-9 in doubles play a year ago.
