ATLANTA – Georgia State men's soccer heads to Boone, N.C. for its final match of the regular season to take on Appalachian State Saturday night at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex.

While Central Arkansas currently sits in first-place in the Sun Belt standings, the final three matches of the regular season could result in as many as four teams tied for the regular-season title with nine points each. GSU has been eliminated from the race for first place but can improve its seed for the conference tournament with a win against the Mountaineers.
