The Georgia Southern Eagles are gearing up for their two-match road stretch, starting with a clash against the Jacksonville Dolphins on Tuesday night. The Eagles will be looking to break a winless streak in the series, as the Dolphins hold a 16-9-3 all-time advantage. When Jacksonville visits, though, the tables turn, as the Eagles boast an 11-2-1 record at home.
It’s been a tough run recently for Georgia Southern in this matchup—their last victory came in 2018. Last year’s encounter saw the Eagles dominate possession and tally 15 shots to the Dolphins’ three, but an early goal in the opening two minutes handed Jacksonville a narrow 1-0 win.
The Eagles are eager to shake off some rust after their last game against #10 James Madison was canceled due to Hurricane Helene. Meanwhile, Jacksonville is coming off a 4-3 defeat to North Florida in a game where three different Dolphins found the back of the net. However, an own goal in the 55th minute proved costly for Jacksonville.
As the Eagles continue their season, Georgia Southern is inviting fans to join the “Soar to Six” campaign, which aims to raise the number of donors to the Erk Russell Fund to over 6,000. For as little as $60 a year (or $5 a month), you can support scholarships for Georgia Southern’s 17 athletic programs. Let’s help the Eagles soar higher—join today!
