Georgia, the No. 9 seed, defeated No. 8 seed Alabama, 68-61, on Thursday. The Lady Bulldogs led for nearly 30 minutes on their way to the fifth win in the last seven games this season.
Redshirt-junior center Jenna Staiti continued her impressive pace. The Cumming, Ga., native scored 20 points to go along with 14 rebounds and 7 blocks against Alabama. It marked her fourth-straight 20-point game and her eighth consecutive contest in double figures.

She has also hit 50.8 percent (60-of-118) from the field and 88.9 percent (40-of-45) from the free-throw line during this current stretch.

UGA Baseball: No. 3 Bulldogs Welcome UMASS To Foley Field

ATHENS—– Third-ranked Georgia welcomes UMASS to Foley Field for a three-game series starting Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 6:02 p.m (SECN+).

At 11-2, the Bulldogs have matched their start from a year ago after 13 games. The 2019 club roared out to a 19-2 start and finished 46-17 in the sixth season under Ike Cousins head baseball coach Scott Stricklin. This past Tuesday, Ga. Southern snapped Georgia’s four-game winning streak with a 6-3 win at Foley Field. Then Wednesday’s rematch at SRP Park in N. Augusta, S.C. was postponed due to rain. It will be made up Tues., March 10 at SRP Park.

The Minutemen (1-5), coached by Matt Reynolds, are in the middle of a 19-game road trip to open their season. They began the year with a 6-3 win over Delaware State but have lost five straight including getting swept by Navy last weekend in Annapolis. UMASS opens Atlantic 10 conference play March 20 at Davidson and its first home series will be against Richmond March 27. Georgia has never faced UMASS.

At 11-1, the Bulldogs are off to their best start since 2009 when they began the year 14-0. The Bulldogs are coming off their third sweep of No. 17 Ga.

UGA Men’s Basketball: Edwards Earns Fourth SEC Weekly Honor

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia’s Anthony Edwards was tabbed as the SEC’s Freshman of the Week on Monday, the fourth time the Atlanta native has been honored as such this season.

UGA Men’s Tennis: Georgia Blanks No. 3 Ohio State 4-0, Diaz Earns SEC-Leading Win

ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia men’s tennis team lifted head coach Manuel Diaz to his Southeastern Conference-leading 707th career win, and doused him with a water cooler afterwards.

The Bulldogs took down No. 3 Ohio State 4-0 on Sunday afternoon as Diaz’s all-time win total surpassed that of his mentor, Dan Magill, at the tennis complex which bears his name. After the victory, Diaz was quick to recognize his players and Georgia tennis fans which made the wins possible.

“It was the energy that we needed to come out with, especially in doubles,” Georgia head coach Manuel Diaz said. “We knew it was going to be tough on each and every court. Philip [Henning] was down 5-1 at one point, but I just told him to find his game and rhythm. What an incredible effort by him and all our guys. We knew both matches this weekend would be tough, but we didn’t see ourselves as underdogs in any way. We expected to win. We knew it would be tough, but we were tough enough to make it through both matches. Hats off to our guys for a great team effort. The atmosphere we had out here was unique. This is why kids want to come play at Georgia. Yes, there’s great tradition but, more than anything, [Georgia has] the best fans in the nation.”
