Seniors honored at Hanner Fieldhouse

The Georgia Southern women’s basketball team celebrated Senior Day at Hanner Fieldhouse before a big win over Appalachian State on Saturday.

The Eagles honored their six seniors in a pre-game ceremony. Guard Nakol Franks, guard Alexis Brown, guard Amira Atwater, forward Hailey Dias-Allen, guard Nikki McDonald and forward Victoria Stavropoulos were joined by their families to walk across the court as their accomplishments over four years were announced.

“They’ve been here for four years and didn’t transfer,” Head Coach Anita Howard said. “They took a chance on staying here and allowing me to coach them."

The game started off with a special moment for Franks, who suffered an ACL tear a month ago, as she started for the Eagles and scored her final points as an Eagle on an uncontested layup.
