A Look at What's Ahead
Georgia will close out the regular season with a three-game series at Missouri May 1-3 in Columbia, Missouri. The series begins Thursday, May 1 at 7 p.m. ET. Georgia will then return home to host the 2025 SEC Tournament at Jack Turner Stadium beginning Tuesday, May 6.

Let's Recap
Georgia dropped its final SEC home series of the season over the weekend to No. 17 Ole Miss. Thursday's series opener was an offensive outburst on both sides as Ole Miss took the game 20-11. Georgia rebounded on Saturday, evening the series with a 6-4 victory behind a complete-game in the circle by Lilli Backes. The Rebels secured the series on Saturday with a 5-3 win over the Bulldogs.

Battle Tested in SEC Play
In Georgia's softball's 29-year history, the Bulldogs have never opened SEC play against three straight top-10 opponents until this season. The only time a Georgia team came close was in 2017 when UGA faced four top 25 opponents to start SEC play (No. 17, 12, 5, 3).

Packing The Jack
Georgia fans set a season attendance record at Jack Turner Stadium with 52,704 fans packing The Jack in 2025. The LSU series saw three top-10 crowds, including breaking the attendance record in game three (2,478). The series drew 7,098 fans, setting a new Jack Turner Stadium series attendance record. Georgia concludes the regular season home schedule 20-10.

The Go, Go, Go's
The trio of Jaydyn Goodwin, Sarah Gordon, and Dallis Goodnight has combined to lead the Georgia offense down the stretch of the season. The three are tops on the team in batting average, runs scored, hits, total bases, total plate appearances, and at-bats. Gordon and Goodnight lead the team with 15 multi-hit games, while Gordon and Goodwin have registered the most multi-RBI games and have each slugged nine home runs.

"Work While You Wait" - Tony Baldwin
Juniors Tyler Ellison and Marisa Miller have each had breakout seasons in 2025. Ellison had a combined 34 at-bats her first two years and has earned a starting role this season. Miller had just two hits in 22 at-bats a season ago in five starts. The pair is hitting .308 and .315, respectively, this season and have been mainstays in Georgia's lineup, combining for 62 hits and 25 RBI. Ellison ranks second on the team with eight home runs.

Starting Strong
55 of Georgia's 256 runs (21 percent) have come in the first inning. The Bulldogs have scored five or more runs in the first inning six times. UGA has pushed a run across in the first inning in 20 games, going 16-4 in those games. The Dogs are 14-3 when leading after the first inning.
