STATESBORO, Ga. - The Georgia Southern softball team wraps up a lengthy road swing on Wednesday, visiting the College of Charleston for a 6 p.m. non-conference contest in Charleston, S.C.
The game concludes an eight-game road swing for the Eagles (21-17), who will be playing the former Southern Conference rival Cougars (22-18) for just the second time since Georgia Southern departed the league to join the Sun Belt in 2014. The two teams met last season in Statesboro on March 22 of last season, with the College of Charleston winning by a 10-5 score. Overall, Georgia Southern leads the series between the two teams, 45-28.
The Eagles are looking to halt an eight-game slide, as Georgia Southern suffered a Sun Belt series sweep at the hands of Coastal Carolina over the weekend. Despite the streak, Georgia Southern still ranks highly in the latest RPI rankings, checking in at No. 63. The Eagles have played one of the toughest schedules among Sun Belt teams, and Wednesday's opponent is no different as Charleston checks in at No. 82 - the 21st game Georgia Southern will play this year against an RPI Top 100 squad.
Now members of the Colonial Athletic Association, Charleston is also on a recent slide as the Cougars were swept by Hofstra over the weekend, stretching their current losing streak to five games.Â
