The top-8 teams in the regular-season standings will be invited to the tournament and battle for the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Georgia Southern is currently tied for eighth. The Eagles play their final two road games of the season this weekend. Georgia Southern travels to Appalachian State Friday and Georgia State Saturday.

Georgia Southern topped Georgia State 3-0 in the season's first meeting and fell 3-0 to Appalachian State. A half point in the Southern vs. State Rivalry Servies is also on the line when the Eagles meet the Panthers Saturday.

Georgia Southern's home and regular-season finale is Nov. 13 against Troy in Hanner Fieldhouse. First serve is set for 5 p.m., and the contest is the first end of a doubleheader with the Georgia Southern men's basketball team, which plays its home and season opener against Webber International at 7:30 p.m.

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 Oct. 23. The redshirt junior has 1,659 career digs, 48 away from the Georgia Southern career record, which was set in 2003. She needs 103 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 311. Her 63 solo blocks ranks ninth, and her 248 block assists ranks sixth.

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

Setter Kat Minnerly ranks fifth on the school's career assist list with 2,785. 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.
