STATESBORO, Ga. – For the final time this season the Georgia Southern men's tennis team will be on the road to cap off a nine match road trip.

Following this road trip the Eagles will return home to the friendly confines of Wallis Tennis Center to face off against Coastal Carolina on senior day.
 
"We are going on a tough road trip against good teams," Head coach Sander Koning said. "We have had some bad luck in the past couple of matches and we are looking to turn it around. The guys have been practicing well and understand what we are and what we need to do."
