Three strong shooters to join Eagle Nation
STATESBORO - Georgia Southern head rifle coach Sandra Worman has announced the signing of three women who have signed NLIs and will join the program for the 2019 season. Faye Bryans (Sarasota, Fla.), Lilly Herring (York, Pa.) and Ashley Judson (Acworth, Ga.) are all strong shooters who should step in immediately to a lineup that will lose two strong seniors after this season.
"These young ladies will be joining a very young team that will feature just one senior next year and I look forward to watching them develop and grow with the program over the next four years," Worman said. "They all have a lot of promise, and will be strong anchors for the program."
