ATLANTA, Ga. – Last season, the Georgia Southern women's basketball team ended the season with a road win over rival Georgia State; the fifth and final win of the season. Tuesday night, the Eagles did something similar, securing their fifth win of the season with a 61-50 victory on the road in Atlanta, but this time it was not the end of the season's story for the Eagles.
Powered by Angel McGowan's career high-tying 28 points, the Eagles (5-11, 2-5 SBC) trailed only briefly in the first quarter. From that point forward, Southern bent but never broke and even stretched things out in the end en route to claiming the second-straight victory over the rival Panthers in the series between the two programs and ending a three-game skid.
