The Georgia Southern softball team will travel to Mercer University to take on the 2-3 Bears on Wednesday.
Coming off a wildly successful 33-19 season, the Bears are expected to be a serious contender in the race for the Southern Conference title. They were second seed going into the SoCon tournament last year.
Mercer played host to three teams this past weekend in the Mercer Invitational. They went 1-1 in their two matches with Rutgers University, 1-1 with Army, and lost big in the last game of the tournament to Jacksonville State 0-15. With these results, the Bears are currently 2-3.
