ATLANTA- After finishing the regular season with a 22-12 record, the No. 15 Sandy Panthers travel to Huntsville, Ala., for the Sun Belt Conference Championship. Beth Van Fleet's squad will look to repeat last year's performance, which saw GSU earning the inaugural SBC title. 

Georgia State, the No. 1 seed in the tournament, will face Stephen F. Austin in the opening round of competition Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. ET. The tournament is double elimination. Therefore, GSU's next match will depend upon the results of the SFA meeting. 

The Sandy Panthers enter the tournament undefeated in conference action over the regular season (8-0). Further, the Panthers have defeated seven of the SBC opponents by a score of 5-0. 

This season Lila Bordis and Aree Keller, primarily playing in the second position, have earned the most wins by a GSU pair with 24. Individually, Savannah Ebarb and Bordis have both registered 25 wins for the blue and white, which leads the team. Ebarb, the Texas native, will have the opportunity to set a new program record for most wins by a freshman during this week's action. Additionally, Angel Ferary, the senior standout, has the chance to record a milestone 100th career victory over the course of the tournament. 

All of the tournament's matches will be streamed on ESPN+. Follow the Sandy Pantherson Instagram and X (@GSU_BeachVB) for the latest news and notes from Huntsville.
