STATESBORO - Georgia Southern Head Women's Basketball Coach Anita Howard has seen the Eagles' on-court performance improve gradually over the last two seasons, both in win total and in several statistical categories.
In 2021-22, however, Coach Howard feels that she has the talent for Georgia Southern women's basketball to take a giant leap forward into Sun Belt Conference title contention.
During the COVID-19 impacted 2020-21 season, the Eagles showed glimpses of the type of team Coach Howard expects night in and night out. A 96-91 win over regular season champion Troy. Six games scoring more than 85 points in a season that saw the Eagles register the most points per game in a year in more than 20 years.
