STATESBORO - Georgia Southern women's basketball returns to the national postseason for the first time in almost 30 years as the Eagles open up action in the 13th Women's Basketball Invitational on Friday evening, taking on Northern Illinois at 7:30 p.m. from the Clive M. Beck Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
The tournament, held on the campus of Transylvania University, will be just the fourth time in the 50-year history of Eagle women's basketball that Georgia Southern has participated in the national postseason - and the first time since the school captured the SoCon Tournament in 1994 and faced North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Championships.
