STATESBORO, Ga. - The Georgia Southern women's basketball team will play its lone exhibition contest of the 2017-18 season on Tuesday, welcoming in Fort Valley State for a 6:30 p.m. tilt at Hanner Fieldhouse.
The Eagles have made steady improvement in Head Coach Kip Drown's two seasons at the helm of the program, rising from 11th to 6th in the Sun Belt Conference standings. To take another step in 2017-18, Georgia Southern will be relying on a squad that returns just two starters and features nine underclassmen among its 14 student-athletes. Tuesday's exhibition will be a good litmus test to see how the team starts to play together against another squad.
