LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Seniors Jaydyn Goodwin and Sarah Gordon were selected as 2026 NFCA Division 1 All-Americans while sophomore Bailey Lindemuth was voted as a 2026 Rawling Division 1 Gold Glove presented by the NFCA recipient.
Goodwin and Gordon's selections make them the program's 25th and 26th All-Americans and the first since the 2023 season. Further, their honors are the program's 35th and 36th overall All-American recognitions. Gordon was voted to the second team as an outfielder, and Goodwin was voted to the third team as an at-large outfielder.
Gordon finished the season with a team-best .407 average, driving in 45 runs off 72 hits, 17 doubles and 12 home runs. She slugged .718 on the season – a career-best – and reached base at a .468-clip. Goodwin led the squad this season in hits (80) and triples (3) while batting at a .404-clip, good for second best overall on the team. Her hit output ranks tied-fourth in the Southeastern conference.
Lindemuth is the program's second Rawling Gold Glove recipient. Sydney Kuma was an honoree during the 2024 season. Lindemuth was a steady and composed presence at third base all season-long recording 110 assists – second on the team and tied-sixth in the conference – and committing only four errors in 159 chances. She also tallied 45 put-outs and fielded 15 double plays, good for tied 10th in the SEC.
The Bulldogs finished the 2026 campaign at 41-20 after falling in the 2026 Knoxville Super Regional. During the season, Georgia recorded a program-best .349 team batting average, as well as a .979 team fielding percentage - second-best in program history.
