Let's Recap

Meghan Donovan recorded her eighth double-double of the season, handing out 25 assists and picking up 11 digs. Kacie Evans led the offense for the Bulldogs with eight kills while also tallying seven digs on the day. Five total Bulldogs recorded five or more kills in the loss including six from Kianna Young in her home state. Kaylah House recorded five kills on nine attempts for a team-best .556 hitting clip.
Using a Strong Start

An Offense on the rise

In team totals, Georgia leads the SEC in assists (981), kills (1,050), and aces (121). Individually, Rachel Ritchie ranks ninth with 3.22 kills per set.
Aces Wild
As a team, Georgia's 121 aces leads the SEC while ranking second in aces per set at 1.59. Individually, Brynn Chandler (0.32) and Kendall Glover (0.29) rank seventh and ninth, respectively in the conference.

Helping Hands
Senior setter Meghan Donovan, Georgia's lone senior, ranks sixth all-time with 4,508 career assists. That figure ranks sixth amongst active career leaders in Division I. This season, her 11.33 assists per set ranks ninth in the country and is currently second in the SEC. As a team, Georgia leads the SEC with 981 assists, 861 of which have come from Donovan. Nationally, Georgia ranks 27th with 12.91 assists per set.
The Bulldogs at Home
Georgia has opened the 2019 home schedule with a 6-0 record. In the first three seasons under Tom Black, Georgia has recorded a record at home of 24-11. Season one saw Georgia go 12-5 in Athens. The 2018 season was the first full-time season for Georgia volleyball in Stegeman Coliseum as Georgia went .500 at 6-6. In home-opening tournaments the last two seasons, the Bulldogs are 7-0.
