STATESBORO – The Georgia Southern volleyball team swept a pair of matches against Coppin State and Bethune-Cookman to win the Bash in the Boro Saturday in Hanner Fieldhouse, and senior Hannah McGlockton was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player after posting 39 kills on the weekend.
The Eagles topped Coppin State 3-1 (24-26, 25-22, 25-19, 25-9) in the afternoon and defeated Bethune-Cookman 3-0 (25-20, 25-14, 25-11) in the final match of the tourney. Sophomore Grace Slader and freshman Paige Powers were named all-tournament along with McGlockton.
Georgia Southern starts the season 3-0 for the first time since 2013, when the Eagles went 28-6, won the Southern Conference Championship and made their last appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
