Overview
The Georgia Southern softball team wrapped up the 2016 season with a return trip to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and saw a +18 game improvement from the previous year, ranking as one of the best marks in the country.
The 2016 Eagles finished the year with a 30-27 record, including 13-11 in conference play, and made plenty of strides on the softball field to have head coach Annie Smith optimistic about 2017 and beyond.
Expectations are high in Statesboro this year as Smith welcomes back almost her entire team back and has added a strong group of newcomers to the fold.
