MOBILE, Ala. – Georgia State (3-9, 1-2) fell 3-0 to South Alabama (7-5, 2-0) in Mobile on Sunday. USA won 25-18, 25-14, and 25-18 to sweep the Panthers. Junior Deidra Bohannon led GSU with 15 kills.
“Give all the credit to South Alabama. They controlled their side of the court and made it difficult for us to execute our game plan on offense,” head coach Sally Polhamus said. “Deidra [Bohannon] and Eliza [Zachary] both played well for us today, but we still aren't executing like we want to as a team.”
