ATLANTA -- Head coach Ed Joyce and the Georgia State women's soccer team begins their 2020 campaign Friday evening at 7 p.m. against the Mercer Bears in Macon.

The game will be streamed live on ESPN+. Live stats are available here.

Kicking Off
  • Georgia State begins the 2020 season Friday in Macon, Ga. The Panthers visit the Mercer Bears as the two schools face each other for a fourth consecutive season. 
  • While Mercer has won two of the last three meetings, Georgia State leads the all-time series 5-4-2. The Panthers look to break the trend of home field advantage in the series with 0-3-2 in Macon since 2009. Conversely, GSU is 5-1 vs. the Bears at the GSU Soccer Complex during the same stretch. Mercer makes the return trip to Atlanta Oct. 15.
  • GSU returns 24 players from a team that advanced to the semifinals of the Sun Belt Tournament a season ago. Leading the pack of returners is Jimena Cabrero, one of GSU's two All-Sun Belt honorees in 2019.
  • Jimena Cabrero was named Preseason All-Sun Belt after a stellar freshman campaign in 2019. Cabrero led GSU with six goals with two assists for a total of 14 points. Five of her goals were game-winners, tied for most in the Sun Belt last season.
  • GSU's roster features six international student-athletes; Four from Spain, 1 from Jamaica, 1 from Iceland.
  • Of GSU's 34 student-athletes, 21 are from the Peach State. Maryland has the second most Panthers with two (Kendra Clark, Jaddah Foos).
  • The Panthers finished the 2019 season with a 9-9-2 (5-4-1 Sun Belt) record. GSU overcame a slow start to win four straight matches entering the Sun Belt Tournament. GSU advanced past Coastal Carolina in the first round but fell to top-seed South Alabama 1-0 in the semifinals.
