- Phase four and the second half of the conference schedule begins this weekend, as Georgia Southern hosts James Madison at Hanner Fieldhouse. The Eagles exit phase three: momentum and enter the fourth phase: ASCEND. After dropping two matches last weekend, the Eagles still have everything in front of them, despite having to chase down Appalachian State in the East Division. Trailing the Mountaineers, there is a log jam of 5-3 teams in the Sun Belt, but the Eagles hold a one-match advantage over Marshall in the East. James Madison enters the weekend at 3-3 in the East and 5-3 overall in league play.
- Georgia Southern volleyball looks to rebound after dropping both matches to Arkansas State this past weekend in Hanner. The Eagles host James Madison, who were also swept by Appalachian State last weekend, inside Hanner Fieldhouse. The two sides meet for what could be the final time as conference foes, as the Dukes have accepted a bid to join the American, no later than 2028.
- The Eagles rank in the top half of the Sun Belt Conference in a multitude of statistical categories entering the halfway point of league play. The Eagles are fifth in points per set (17.27), third in opponent hitting percentage (.182), first in hitting percentage (.256), fourth in assists per set (12.38), second in kills per set (13.71), first in opponent blocks (103.0) and opponent blocks per set (1.43), third in blocks (175.5), third in blocks per set (2.44), first in opponent service aces (0.96), third in digs (1,152), and second in digs per set (16.00).Â
- Georgia Southern volleyball set a new attendance record on Friday evening inside Hanner Fieldhouse, as 1,422 attendees showed up to watch the Eagles take on Arkansas State. The tally passed the previous attendance record of 1,382, which was set in 2023 against Coastal Carolina.
