NOTES
- Georgia Southern is now 1-2 against Howard all-time and is 1-1 against the Bison in Washington, D.C.
- With the Eagles' loss Saturday and a win by Georgia State over Hartwick, the Panthers have taken the lead in the Sun Belt Conference standings with nine points. The Eagles are now tied for second with Coastal Carolina as both teams have seven points. The Chanticleers were off from league action Saturday night.
- All six league foes will be in action next Saturday as the regular season comes to a dramatic close as there is still plenty for every team to play for. Howard plays at Hartwick, Appalachian State plays at Georgia Southern and Georgia State plays at Coastal Carolina.
- Earlier in the week, Georgia Southern moved up a spot in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Southeast Region standings. The Eagles are now seventh in the region. Charlotte remains atop the Southeast Region standings with Kentucky second, Florida Gulf Coast third, South Carolina fourth and North Florida fifth. There are also two Sun Belt opponents joining GS in the top-10, Georgia State is currently sixth and Hartwick 10th.
- Georgia Southern has been moving up the NCAA Rating Percentage Index (RPI) in the last few weeks. The RPI is a ranking system used to rank teams based upon the team's record and strength of schedule. Two weeks ago, the Eagles were 151 before moving up to 141 last week. At the start of this week, GS is 113 marking a 28 spot increase after going 1-0-1 against Presbyterian and Hartwick. The Eagles boast wins this season over four top-100 teams in North Florida (24), Mercer (48), Georgia State (63) and Hartwick (83) and they also tied Coastal Carolina (47).
QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH JOHN MURPHY
"Congratulations to Howard, they played with energy and passion tonight and we did not match it. They are certainly better than their record shows and I have to say congratulations to them. We have a week off to prepare for our Senior Night against Appalachian State and we will use this time wisely to improve our deficiencies from tonight's game and short-comings that have plagued us this season."
