SCOUTING THE OPPONENT

After earning a 4-12-1 record last season, Georgia Southern starts its season winless through four games, including a loss to No. 12-ranked Charlotte at home. The Eagles will enter Tuesday night with their last win being against College of Charleston on Sept. 22, 2021.

The Eagles have had scoring struggles throughout the beginning of the season, as they have been shut out in three of their first four games. They have been outscored a combined 13-3, including their last loss being a 2-0 defeat to a familiar opponent in FGCU.

Georgia Southern did not have anyone selected to the Sun Belt's preseason poll and were selected to finish last in their conference. Samuel Odame and Mauro Gutierrez-Solis are the only two players from last season with multiple goals scored.

Through four games this season, Odame, as well as Zachary Martin, each have a goal scored to go along with a team goal scored. Segundo Navarro is far and way the leading shot leader with nine total and Dagoberto Romero has the most saves in three starts with nine total.
