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.

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.

Turner Turns in Best Performance

Summer Draws Five Consecutive Starts

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 416-204 (.675) 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.

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.

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
