Key moment
Trailing 2-1 in the match, Savannah State (1-13) led 12-11 in the fourth, but Maddie Bryant sparked a six-point run for Georgia Southern with a kill. Five points came on the serve of Madison Brown, and Bryant added another kill during the stretch. Skylar Ball had two kills in another 4-1 spurt, and Morrow gave the Eagles a 21-15 cushion with her sixth ace of the contest.

Eagle of the Match
Reichard hit .588 with 12 kills on 17 swings and just two errors.

Quotables from coach Dustin Wood
"We came out in the first and second doing what we needed to do, and I was very happy with our offense in the first two. In the third set, they came out and served us off the court, but we made some adjustments between sets three and four and finished the job."

"We were able to get some different people on the court and give them some looks and build our confidence and momentum heading into Friday's match. We are looking forward to competing hard against Texas State Friday night in Hanner."

Next Up
The Eagles open a four match homestand by hosting preseason Sun Belt West Division favorites Texas State Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Hanner Fieldhouse. Promotions: Homecoming Weekend.
