PELAY Freshmen, 1 WA

The first semester of the 2012/2013 academic year is over, so the majority of freshmen know where they are and have an idea of how to budget their time. Students have every reason to get involved an extra-curricular activity, or activities. As we reported in the Thursday, Jan. 17, edition of The George-Anne, the various' club sports have begun recruiting with a club sports fair, which was held on Tuesday. Interfraternity Council fraternities will not begin recruiting until Jan. 28. Club sports and Greek organizations are both great ways to become a part of the Georgia Southern University community. Along with the obvious benefits of making new friends and gaining contacts around campus, they can also help stave off the infamous “freshman 15.” Finding something you enjoy doing and actually doing it is the purpose of higher education. There are clubs and organizations for everyone. Every college within GSO has clubs for its students to participate in.

BY RANDALL HAMPTON The George-Anne staff

The Georgia Southern University women’s basketball team will be. looking to get 'a winning streak going Saturday at the expense of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Spartans. GSU will be riding a wave of confidence after a dramatic 61- 58 home win over the Wofford College Terriers. In that game, the Eagles tied a season low with 11 turnovers. Freshman point guard Alexis Sams played all but one minute of the game and had only three turnovers. “Definitely something that we talked about was taking care of the ball and valuing the possession,” head coach Chris Vozab said. Taking care of the ball could be especially difficult because UNCG averages 11 steals per game. That is good enough for second place injthe Southern Conference. GSU is going to have to put the clamps on UNCG freshman guard Lucy Mason. Her 15 points per game leads the team and ranks fourth in the SoCon. The teams split last year’s meetings 1-1 with both teams protecting home court. GSU came one point away from stealing the game in North Carolina. UNCG is one of two teams yet to win a SoCon game.
