The contest features a match-up of two coaches - Chris Vozab and Greg Brown - whose programs are looking to turn the corner in their third seasons.
The Eagles return eight letterwinners and three starters from last season's squad. Three of the top-5 scorers and rebounders are back for Georgia Southern.
Senior Anna Claire Knight was named to the Preseason All-Sun Belt Team in the coaches poll, and the Eagles were picked to finish 10th.

The Eagles are 23-18 all-time in season openers and have lost the last four. Two of those have come on the road. The Eagles' last true season-opening road win was a 74-55 victory over Mercer in 2000.
