STATESBORO— Georgia Southern volleyball has released its 2025 schedule. Beginning on Aug. 23, the team has one preseason matchup and 27 regular-season contests.

The Eagles have scheduled one preseason exhibition game, taking on Power opponent South Carolina in a neutral-site matchup at Enmarket Arena in Savannah on Aug. 23. More details on this game will be released in the future.

GS travels to Jacksonville for a tournament hosted by North Florida on Aug. 29 to kick off the regular season with opponents and times still to be determined.

The Eagles have their first midweek contest since 2023 when they take on The Citadel on Sep. 2 for the home opener at Hanner Fieldhouse

The lone tournament at Hanner Fieldhouse, the Eagle Invitational, takes place from Sep. 5-7. GS takes on a pair of teams that made the NIVC last season – Pacific (Sep. 6) and Mercer (Sep. 7), with the former facing off against Georgia Southern for the first time in history.

The Eagles move on to another road tournament the next week, hosted by Georgia in Athens from Sep. 13-15. On Sep. 14, GS plays the host Bulldogs for the first time since the 2015 season.

Finally, the non-conference slate closes out the week of Sep. 18 with a pair of games – South Carolina State (Sep. 18) and the first matchup with NCAA Tournament team and ACC opponent Florida State since 2013 on Sep. 20. It will be the Seminoles’ first-ever trip to Statesboro.

The Eagles went 23-7 in 2025 en route to an NIVC berth and look to continue the momentum and grab the team’s first NCAA tournament berth since 2013.

NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University had six athletic programs earn perfect multi-year APR (Academic Progress Rates) scores, the department announced Tuesday afternoon. Also, twelve (12) programs either improved or equaled their multi-year APR score from last year, including men’s tennis, which recorded a perfect rate for the 14th consecutive year.

The other Green Wave programs with perfect multi-year rates were men’s cross country, men’s track, bowling, golf, and women’s tennis.

Additionally, football had its best rate in program history with a 986, four points better than its previous high of 982 set this time last year.

Tulane currently has five other teams, besides men’s tennis, that have perfect multi-year APR score streaks of three years or more in women’s golf (5), women’s tennis (4), men’s cross country (4), bowling (3) and men’s track (3).

“Tulane is a special place and can ultimately be the model for college athletics,” Ben Weiner Director of Athletics Chair David Harris said. “Our student-athletes excel in the classroom, in the fields of competition and in the community. Today’s news is further evidence of this, and all the credit goes to our student athletes and staff for continuing to make this a reality.”

Fourteen (14) programs have a multi-year APR average higher than the national mark of 984, equaling or bettering the department’s standard for the fourth consecutive year. Those scores cover the academic years 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23, 2023-24.

During the 2023-24 academic school year alone, Tulane had 14 teams that achieved a perfect 1000 academic progress rate in baseball, men’s basketball, men’s cross country, men’s tennis, men’s track, women’s basketball, bowling, women’s cross country, golf, beach volleyball, swimming, women’s tennis, women’s tennis and volleyball.  

“At Tulane we value the entire student athlete for both their academic and athletic performances,” said Deputy AD, Student Services/SWA Dr. Charvi Greer. “We have a very balanced approach to achieving that success, both in and out of the classroom, and that is a crucial component to maintaining the standard that we’ve set.”

The NCAA Division I academic progress rates system was implemented as part of “an ambitious academic reform effort,” according to the NCAA’s website. The APR holds institutions accountable for academic progress of student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term.

WE ARE NOLA BUILT

Tulane University is located in the city of New Orleans. It is a city built on tradition and resiliency. The lessons Green Wave student-athletes have learned through their connection with this university and city have BUILT doctors, lawyers, business leaders, conference champions, all-conference players, All-Americans, professional athletes, and NCAA tournament teams. The city of New Orleans has shaped us into who we are today. We are One City. We are Tulane. We are NOLA BUILT. Check out our story at NolaBuilt.com.

 

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – Inez Bordeaux said she spent a month inside the former medium security institution also known as “the workhouse” in 2016.

Following her release, she spent years as one of the leading voices to close the facility.

“It was only 30 days but it was the longest 30 days of my life,” she said. “It is infested with rats and roaches, it does have black mold growing on the walls, you see the snakes and the roaches in people’s food, just being treated like you’re something someone scraped off the bottom of their shoe every day.”

Former Mayor Tishaura Jones closed the jail in 2022.

Demolition started this year.

Tuesday, ArchCity Defenders announced they reached a $4 million dollar settlement agreement with the city of St. Louis. The firm estimates at least 16,000 formerly incarcerated people could receive a portion of the cash settlement.

“The way it’ll be calculated is based on a daily rate,” said Nathaniel Carroll, one of ArchCity’s senior staff attorneys. “Everyone who submits a claim form, we’ll add up the total days they spent in jail and we’ll divide the settlement money by those days and you get a daily rate.”

Former Mayor Jones signed off on the settlement two days after losing her re-election bid.

Current Mayor Cara Spencer said at a news conference Tuesday the city will follow a judge’s decision.

“I can’t really speak to those decisions that was before I was sworn into office,” she told reporters. “But, of course, the city is planning on if the court, still subject to court approval of course but the city does intend to support that.

First Alert 4 asked ArchCity Defenders if Jones’ past support of closing the workhouse and her administration signing off on the settlement agreement was a conflict of interest.

“While the mayor might have been a fan of some of the things we did, the city counselor’s office was really driving the litigation,” Carroll said. “Which is why there was an appeal even though Mayor Jones wanted to settle or at least intimated, I would say but we had been negotiating prior to the transition and the election as well with the city councilor’s office, not with the mayor.”

Years after her incarceration, Bordeaux who now works as the Deputy Director of Organizing at ArchCity Defenders said she is in the process of establishing a community resource hub for former inmates.

Looking forward to finally closing the book on the workhouse.

“It’s a closure,” she said. “An end of the workhouse era.”

ArchCity Defenders said if the settlement moves smoothly through the courts, they expect payments to start to go out in late summer or early fall.

Those who believe they might be eligible for part of the settlement money can fill out a form here.
