Eagles clinch regular-season SoCon title
GSU New
The Georgia Southern Eagles locked up the Southern Conference regular-season championship on Saturday against Samford in Birmingham, Ala., but there wasn’t a whole lot of celebrating. The Eagles entered the weekend with a three-game lead in the conference standings over second-place Furman, so GSU needed only one win or one Furman loss against Appalachian State, with both teams playing a Saturday doubleheader. Samford swept the doubleheader, but Furman lost game two against ASU, 7-3, to close the door on its hopes and leave the Eagles with the best record in the SoCon.
