STATESBORO, Ga. – After a quick trip to Daytona Beach, Florida, the Georgia Southern women's tennis team is back in action on their home courts on Saturday hosting Florida A&M at 11 a.m. The Eagles come off of a 4-3 victory over Bethune-Cookman on Wednesday, which upped their record to 8-5 on the season.
 
Senior Francisca Norregaard notched wins in both singles and doubles to lead the Eagles, assisted by doubles partner Giulia Riepe who later fell at the No.1 position for just the third time this season. Lindsay Truscott also scored a point for the Eagles to help them capture the W over the Bulldogs.
 
For the second time this week, the Blue and White take on an opponent from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The 5-9 Rattlers most recently shutout North Carolina A&T 7-0 in Tallahassee, Florida on Tuesday.
 
At the Wallis Tennis Center, the Eagles hold three wins and three losses this season. Saturday's match marks the last hurrah before GS moves into conference play, first taking on Georgia State and then South Alabama in Troy, Alabama.
