STATESBORO - More accolades have arrived for Georgia Southern head coach Sean McCaffrey's incoming freshman recruiting class. In addition to being the No. 15-rated class overall in the rankings published by the Tennis Recruiting Network, the class has also been recognized as the No. 2 class among all mid-major schools.

The Eagles' five incoming freshmen - Hannah Eifert (Schermbeck, Germany); Franzi Heinemann (Bad Driburg, Germany); Lisen Rinman (Stockholm. Sweden); Amelie Rosadoro (Alicante, Spain) and Evelyn Warkentin (Aschendorf, Germany) - place second behind only Pepperdine, which has had the top-ranked mid-major recruiting class five times previously. Georgia Southern is one of only two Sun Belt teams to have its class appear in the mid-major rankings, joining Arkansas State, who comes in at No. 19.

"Being recognized for a strong recruiting class is certainly a nice boost to let you know that there is a strong desire for ambitious players to become a part of our program," Coach McCaffrey said about the most recent rankings from TRN. "We have identified, what we believe, to be a strong and dedicated group of women who are focused on growing their own personal tennis game while also contributing to something that is bigger than any one individual. I'm excited about this group of selfless and ambitious ladies desire to develop their skills and help us continue to move forward towards another Sun Belt title. This acknowledgment just shows that we have a great deal of momentum and we're heading in a very positive direction. I can't wait to have everyone arrive in August so we can begin our work."
