No. 19 GSU Travels to Baton Rouge for Battles with the Nation's Top-Ranked Programs

ATLANTA- No. 19 Georgia State is back on the beach this weekend for four matches in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The weekend is highlighted by a trio of top-15 matchups including tilts with host No. 1 LSU, No. 2 FSU, No. 11 FAU. Additionally, the Panthers will battle Houston Baptist. 

First serve is slated for 10:00 a.m. ET when the Panthers meet Houston Baptist. Georgia State will have a short break before presuming action against No. 11 FAU at 5:30 p.m. ET. Sunday GSU will meet the nation's top two teams and CCSA foes. GSU's first serve against No. 2 FSU is slated for a 9:00 a.m. ET start time. The highly anticipated weekend finale against No. 1 LSU will begin at 2:00 p.m. ET. 

Due to last year's shortened season, Georgia State did not battle FSU or LSU. The Panthers will look for revenge against FAU, as State dropped a pair of contests against the Owls last season. Additionally, GSU will look to remain undefeated against Houston Baptist, who will enter this weekend hungry as the Huskies are receiving votes for the AVCA's top-20 poll.

Last weekend, Georgia State (2-2) dropped a pair of top-10 meetings by 4-1 results on the first day of the 2021 campaign. GSU's lone point in each meeting came from Kelly Dorn and Meagan McCall in position No. 3. The following day, the Panthers earned their first team victories of the season with impressive play against Tampa and CCSA competition in Southern Miss.
