ATHENS, Ga. ---The No. 10 University of Georgia gymnastics team returns to the road to face No. 8 Alabama inside Coleman Coliseum on Saturday, March 7 at 8:30 ET. The meet will be broadcast on the SEC Network.
Â
HISTORY AGAINST ALABAMA
Georgia holds an 82-67-2 record against Alabama. The teams faced each other in the Metroplex Challenge earlier this year. Alabama tied for second with a score of 196.575 and Georgia finished fourth with a 196.300.
Â
Last season the GymDogs fell by a quarter of a tenth to the Crimson Tide in Stegeman Coliseum and finished just directly behind them at the SEC Championship.  This meet marks the second-straight top-ten matchup for Georgia. Â

Georgia's beam squad takes a calm, but confident approach to their routines on the beam.Â
Â
Head coach Courtney Kupets Carter: "I love the beam lineup. They've really shown that they can perform. We've had a few competitions where it's our last event and it was a harder meet. They come and they do what they have to do, so that's just built them up with confidence. It's been really fun to work with."

Despite scoring higher on only one event, the GymDogs took a win from Kentucky in Lexington and put in a solid performance to earn the team's best road score of the season.  Junior Marissa Oakley earned the top score on bars matching her season-high score of 9.925 and marking her third event title this year. Senior Sabrina Vega took home the beam crown with a 9.925 and earned the best all-around score for the first time of her career.
