The Georgia Southern women’s basketball schedule has been announced for the 2019-2020 season.

After a 7-22 record last year, The Eagles will attempt to create a new buzz for first year Head Coach Anita Howard’s program with a pair of exhibitions against Coker and Coastal Georgia on Oct. 30 and Nov 5, both at home.

GS opens regular season play at Furman on Nov. 10, and hosts its first regular season game a week later when it welcomes in-state opponent Kennesaw State to Hanner.  

After hosting North Dakota three days later, GS will play, oddly, eight consecutive games away from home, including a competition at Mercer Dec. 7, a game the Eagles lost 79-72 in 2018.

In what will probably be a highlight for the team, GS will compete in the Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic on Dec. 19-20. 

After a game at Tulane ten days later, GS opens Sun Belt play with visiting Louisiana-Monroe Jan. 2 and follows that game up two days later against Louisiana-Lafayette. 

The Eagles will host Georgia State Jan. 25 and App State Feb 22. GS heads to Boone Feb. 1 and closes the regular season in Atlanta March 7. The full schedule can be viewed below.
