Previously vs. Wingate and Coker
• These are the first ever meetings between the Lions and both Wingate and Coker. 

Last Time Out
• Georgian Court got off to a slow start in the season opening doubleheader over the weekend at Francis Marion.
• The Patriots routed the Lions 10-0 in five innings of game one of their doubleheader.
• It looked like it might be more of the same in game two as Francis Marion scored nine in the first and led 10-0 after two.
• Georgian Court though made a furious comeback, first staving of another run-rule with three runs in the fifth. Then tying the game at 14 with a six-run seventh inning.
• It was all for naught though as GCU didn't record an out in the bottom of the seventh and FMU walked it off, 15-14, with a single.
• Kaitlyn Stufft drove in four runs in game two. Her and Mungo each had three hits. 

GCU Leaders
• Kaitlyn Stufft has four hits in six at bats and four RBI.
• Adriana Mungo has two doubles with three runs driven in.
• Cheyenne Jackson has scored three runs while drawing a pair of walks plus a single.
• Janelle Blaszka has pitched five of the Lions 10 innings this season. 

Individual Milestones
• Jadalynn Rodriguez is five hits away from 100 and needs two stolen bases to become the ninth Lion to reach 40.
• Alyssa Herrera needs one hit to get to 150. 
• Kaitlyn Stufft needs two home runs to move to fourth at GCU and three to get into third. One RBI will also put her into the Lions all-time top-five. 
• Adriana Mungo is 11 hits shy of 200 and needs 10 more to make the all-time top-five in career hits. She also needs just two more doubles to move to second all-time and one walk for 50.
• Jayda Jones is eight RBI away from 100.
