After this past weekend’s sweep of Coastal Carolina, the Georgia Southern softball team has a prime opportunity to make a climb up the Sun Belt standings as they take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers this weekend. The Eagles are 8-7 in Sun Belt play and sitting in fourth place while App State is 0-11 in Sun Belt and is at the bottom of the standings
Finally, sophomore pitcher Dixie Raley returned to her freshman player of the year ace status from last season, recording 11 strikeouts and only allowing four runs in her two appearances against the Chanticleers.
