STATESBORO - Georgia Southern women's basketball began the game on a 31-2 run to collect a 99-47 season-opening win over visiting Allen University on Monday evening at Hanner Fieldhouse.
The Eagles (1-0) pick up a win in their season opener for a second straight season, and do so in dominating fashion. The 99 points scored are the second-most in a season opener in school history, behind only a 101-66 win over Tift in the very first intercollegiate game played by Georgia Southern women's basketball against Tift College in 1974.
Georgia Southern shot 60 percent from the floor in the first quarter and finished the period with a 34-8 lead, holding the Yellowjackets to just two field goals from the floor.
