Georgia Southern softball has returned to Beautiful Eagle Field for the Spring 2023 campaign! All throughout the season, we'll be spotlighting our seniors with our 5 Questions segment. Next up is outfielder Jess Mazur!

Jess is a fifth-year senior from Palatine, Ill. She has played in 105 career games for the Eagles, including pitching in 16 games, and last year hit a team-leading 10 home runs, becoming only the 13th player in Georgia Southern softball history to hit 10 or more home runs in a season! Her sister, Michelle, played softball for the Eagles from 2014-17 and currently Jess is pursuing her bachelor's degree in biology from Georgia Southern!

1) What made you decide to come to Georgia Southern?

I always wanted to go out of state and get out of the cold. Southern offered me that along with a growing culture that I got to start to experience through my older sister Michelle, who also played softball at Southern..

2) What's one thing that people don't know about you?

When I was younger, I wanted to be a gymnast when I grew up.

3) If you weren't playing softball, what other sport do you think you might play collegiately?

I would play volleyball. Fun fact! I actually got recruited to play at a couple small schools up north.

4) In a movie about your life, what actor or actress would play you?

Aubrey Plaza.

5) Do you have a phrase, saying or song that helps you get through a particularly tough day?

Just knowing all the hard times and really everything in this life is temporary. I have eternity with God to look forward to.
