Buzzer Beater

Georgia freshman guard Trinity Turner hit the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Lady Bulldogs to a 74-72 win against Missouri, capping off a 14-point comeback. That shot was the highlight of an impressive week for the Georgia freshman. She led the team in both points and rebounds, averaging 20.5 points and 6.0 boards per contest, while finishing second on the squad with nine total assists. With Georgia down 11 going into the fourth quarter against Missouri, Turner led her team back with eight points in the final period, jumpstarting the Lady Bulldog comeback. Down 72-71, she then nailed a 3-pointer as time expired to give Georgia the win. In the following game against Mississippi State, Turner led all scorers with 23 points, finishing just five off her career high. Turner is now Georgia's leading scorer this season with 12.8 points per game through 19 contests.

Turner Turns in Best Performance

Turner is the first Georgia freshman since SEC and National Freshman of the Year Tasha Humphrey in 2004 to start her career with three-straight double figure scoring games. Turner's 28 points against Georgia Tech on Nov. 17 were the most for a Lady Bulldog rookie in a game since Gabby Connally in 2018 (37 vs. Texas A&M).

Summer Draws Five Consecutive Starts

Georgia freshman guard Summer Davis drew five starts from Dec. 1-20. She scored 11 points and dished out a pair of assists against Virginia Tech.

Historical Debut

Georgia started a pair of freshmen in the season opener, marking the first time since 1997 that the Lady Bulldogs started two frehmen in a season opener (Kelly and Coco Miller). The five freshmen that played against North Carolina Central accounted for 60 of the team's 96 points.

Georgia Inks Back-to Back Top Classes

The Lady Bulldogs have signed top-20 classes in each of the last two recruiting cycles, with the No.18-ranked recruiting class in 2025 and the No. 16-ranked class in 2024. The 2025 group features Aubrey Beckham (Dacula, Georgia) -- a five-star, top-50 prospect and No. 2-ranked player in the state by ESPN. Jocelyn Faison (Atlanta) -- ranked No. 76 nationally No. 4 in Georgia by 247Sports.com. Zhen Craft (Waldorf, Maryland) and Megan Yarnevich (Ellicott City, Maryland) -- two four-star products from Maryland and Harissoum Coulibaly -- a talented guard from Paris, France.

Georgia's current freshman class ranked No. 16 nationally by ESPN.com in the final 2024 recruiting rankings. The Lady Bulldogs signed four ESPN top-100 players in a group that included guards Indya and Summer Davis (ranked No. 67 and 96, respectively), Trinity Turner (No. 74) and forward Mia Woolfolk (No. 71). Georgia's 2024 class ranked fifth best in the Southeastern Conference as the Lady Bulldogs were the only SEC program to ink four players all ranked in the ESPN top-100.

Year Three for ABE and Staff

The 2024-25 season marks head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson's third year at Georgia. Coach ABE owns a career 415-198 (.685) record over her 20 seasons overall, during which her teams have won an impressive 16 conference championships. This current Georgia staff has been with her nearly every step of the way. Associate head coach Tahnee Balerio and assistant coaches Isoken Uzamere, Nykesha Sales and Ebone Henry-Harris have combined to work with Coach ABE for a total of 42 seasons.

Double Trouble Dawgs

Indya and Summer Davis, twin sisters from Detroit, Mich., join a long line of twins to play for the Lady Bulldogs. Indya and Summer are the fourth pair to suit up for Georgia women's basketball, joining Camille and Miriam Lowe (1990-93), Kelly and Coco Miller (1998-01) and Kara and Kim Braxton (2002-04). Kelly and Coco were both named All-Americans by the WBB Journal during their careers at Georgia, while Kara Braxton earned All- America status from Full Court Press back in 2002.

Trilingual Makolo

Makolo is fluent in three languages, including English, French and Lingala (a regional language of the Congo). Makolo was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and lived there until she moved to Canada at six years old.

First Verse for Georgia's Fifth Freshman

Arizona native Miyah Verse has seen the first action of her collegiate career after earning a redshirt last year. Verse played high school for national powerhouse Arizona Elite Prep and Mountain Ridge High School in Peoria, Ariz. The fourstar prospect was ranked in ESPN's Super 60, which ranks the top 60 recruits nationally.

Verse's brother Jared is a rookie linebacker for the NFL's Los Angeles Rams. The former Florida State standout was a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, going to the Rams with the 19th overall selection.

A Winning Tradition

Georgia women's basketball stands among the most elite programs in the SEC and the country. The Lady Bulldogs rank second in SEC history and 19th nationally with 1,082 all-time wins – one of just four league teams to reach the 1,000-victory mark (Tennessee, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina). Georgia also ranks second, only behind Tennessee, in total conference victories (344) and third, behind Tennessee and South Carolina, with seven league championships.

Dawg Nation Shows Up to Set New Mark

During Georgia's game game against LSU last year, 7,406 fans packed Stegeman Coliseum. It marked the largest crowd for a Georgia home game since 2012 (10,523 vs. Tennessee), spanning 11 seasons. It was Georgia's first crowd over 7,000 since the 2019 Elementary School Day Game against UCLA.
