CONWAY, S.C. – The Coastal Carolina softball team will remain on the road to take on the Georgia Southern Eagles in a three-game Sun Belt Conference series on March 28-30 in Statesboro, Ga.

The Chants suffered a series sweep to the No. 21/23 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns.

Delaney Keith went 3-for-4 at the plate in game one, hitting back-to-back home runs during her first two at-bats. The feat makes her one of six players in the nation to have hit consecutive home runs this season.
Maddy Jennings smashed her sixth home run of the season and was the only Chant to record a hit in each game versus Louisiana.
Iyanla De Jesus broke up the Louisiana no-hitter bid during game three and Georgia Hood drove in CCU's lone run on a sacrifice fly.
