STATESBORO – Four Georgia Southern men's soccer games will receive national exposure in the coming weeks with the Eagles having the opportunity to play four times on the ESPN family of networks, including one home game and two during the road swing that begins next week as well as one game in October.
The Eagles will get their first national exposure of the year on Tuesday, September 13 at South Carolina when GS plays the Gamecocks on the SEC Network+. The Gamecocks started the season nationally ranked by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and are currently receiving votes in the national coaches poll. The game will kick off at 7 p.m. from Columbia, South Carolina.
A week later, GS will travel to Durham, North Carolina, to play at Duke. That game will be on the ACC Network Extended. The Blue Devils are currently 2-0-1 on the season and are coming off a 1-0 win over No. 9 UCLA in Los Angeles, California, a win that has garnered Duke votes in the most recent NSCAA national coaches poll. The game between Georgia Southern and Duke is scheduled for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
The third ESPN game of September for the Eagles will be at home against Campbell on Tuesday, Sept. 27. The game against the Fighting Camels will be available on ESPN3 with kickoff slated for 7 p.m. at Eagle Field.
The fourth and final ESPN game currently on Georgia Southern's schedule will be on Tuesday, October 25. On that date, the Eagles will play at Clemson in a 7 p.m. game that will be nationally televised on the ACC Network Extra.
