The Eagles will play just one match this weekend, a road contest at USC Upstate with first serve scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday.

The Eagles were slated to travel to the Bash at the Beach in Daytona Beach, Florida, and play three matches, but that tournament has been canceled because of Hurricane Dorian.

Georgia Southern went 1-2 on opening weekend at the Mercer Bears Classic, while USC Upstate lost three matches at the Miami (Ohio) Best Western Sycamore Inn Invitational. The Spartans fell to 0-4 with a 3-2 loss to Limestone in their home opener Tuesday night.

Maddie Bryant and Madison Brown were named all-tournament at the Mercer Bears Classic. Bryant averaged 3.50 kills per set, and Brown averaged 9.70 assists a frame.

Saturday's contest will be the first time the Eagles have played at USC Upstate. GS owns a 2-0 all-time record in the series and defeated the Spartans 3-1 in the Eagles' home tournament last year.

The Eagles are scheduled to host their annual home tournament, the Georgia Southern Invitational, a four-team event that features five matches, Sept. 13-14 in Hanner Fieldhouse. The Eagles play their home opener against UNC Asheville Sept. 13 at 11 a.m. and play host to Southern Miss that night at 6:30 p.m.

Season tickets for home matches are $50, and single-match tickets are $5-8 and $3-5 for youth ages 4-12. Group tickets for groups of 15 or more are available for $3 each and must be purchased prior to game day.
