Eagles want to make a statement in Sun Belt
GSU Volleyball has high hopes entering season

Georgia Southern's Crysten Curry (3) hustles over to help as teammate Jamie DeRatt digs deep to save a point against Georgia at Hanner Fieldhouse during a Sept. 9 matchup last season. The Eagles tip off their 2014 season Friday in Gainesville, Fla. and will play several tournaments before begining conference play against their new Sun Belt rivals.
Georgia Southern volleyball coach Dustin Wood likes the opportunity in front of the Eagles, and it’s not because they’re in the Sun Belt. It’s because he thinks the team is ready to make a splash on the national stage. The Eagles (28-6 in 2013) matched the program’s highest win total in Wood’s first season a year ago, and lost to Florida State in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
