Let's Recap

Bianna Muoneke led the Bulldogs with a season-high 27 kills on a season-best .426 hitting percentage. It was her third double-double of the 2026 campaign with a season-best 14 digs and third. She tied Georgia rally scoring records with 27 kills and 30.0 points in four sets. A third of Muoneke's kills (9) came in the first set. That number tied a Georgia set record of kills in a set, set twice before, last done by Ann Dylla in the third set at Northern Colorado on Sept. 4, 2010. Muoneke finished the match with eight kills in the fourth. Graduate middle Tori Harper recorded a career-high 10 kills, the first double-digit kill match of her career. She did it on a .471 percentage with a team-best three blocks. The Bulldogs won the third set 25-9, starting with an 11-0 serving run by Ana Julia Bleeker. Notre Dame's nine points tie for the fifth-fewest points allowed by Georgia in program history.
