Previously in GS Softball
- The Eagles ride a three-game winning streak into the weekend, beginning to find their rhythm as they navigate a challenging 2026 schedule.
- GS's young talent continues to deliver early in the season, highlighted by standout performances from freshman Jaycee Bilbrey and sophomore Braelyn Queen. Bilbrey has been red hot at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a run against Mercer, 2-for-3 with two runs vs. Tennessee Tech, and a perfect 4-for-4 showing against EKU that included a double, RBI, stolen base and run scored. Queen has also provided steady production, posting multi-hit efforts against Mercer (2-for-3, RBI) and Tennessee Tech (2-for-2, run, RBI), adding a two-RBI performance vs. EKU and scoring a run in a 1-for-2 outing against Rhode Island.
- After previously contributing as a pinch runner and pinch hitter, freshman Demere Gray made the most of her opportunity in the starting lineup, blasting her first career home run – a two-run homer – against Tennessee Tech. The milestone marked her first long ball at the collegiate level and highlighted her immediate impact in an expanded role.
- Freshman Shaylin Stringer (2-1) tossed her first career complete-game shutout against Tennessee Tech, powering the Eagles to an 11-0 run-rule victory over the Golden Eagles. The left-hander posted a 1.75 ERA on the outing, allowing just three hits while striking out two.
