The Eagles play four of their next five matches on the road, beginning with a pair of contests in Arkansas this weekend. The Eagles face Arkansas State Friday night and Little Rock Saturday night. Georgia Southern's home and regular-season finale is Nov. 13 against Troy in Hanner Fieldhouse. 

Alex Beecher, who came into the weekend ranked eighth in the country in digs per set, went over 1,600 for her career with 15 digs against Appalachian State Friday. The redshirt junior has 1,624 career digs, 83 away from the Georgia Southern career record, which was set in 2003. She needs 138 to break her own single-season record of 604, set in 2012.

Redshirt junior Crysten Curry collected her 300th career block at UL Lafayette Oct. 16, as she notched six in the match. She ranks seventh in career blocks at Georgia Southern with 305. Her 62 solo blocks ranks ninth, and her 243 block assists ranks sixth.

Setter/right side Katie Bange has eight double-doubles this season, and five of the eight have included double-figure kills. 

Setter Kat Minnerly ranks fifth on the school's career assist list with 2,775. The senior played in her 100th career match against Chicago State Sept. 12.

Three juniors who received medical redshirts last season - Beecher, Curry and Bange - have returned to the lineup this season and played in every match.
