The Panthers will recognize seniors Andreea Stanescu and Eva Chivu for Senior Day before facing the Sun Belt opponent and looking to tie the school record for regular season wins in a season at 16.

Coming off a two-win season in 2021, first-year head coach Hannah Keeling has led the Panthers to a 15-5 record with an 8-1 mark in conference play. Friday's match offers GSU the opportunity to near closer to the single-season school record for total wins at 17.
