Lexington, Ky.- Georgia's Lady Bulldogs earned their easiest win of the SEC season here on Sunday afternoon, leading from the get-go enroute to a 76-50 victory over Kentucky.
"It's good to go on the road in the SEC and win," Andy Landers said. "It's particularly good to go on the road in the SEC and win without struggling."
Freshmen ruled the day for the Lady Bulldogs (15-6, 4-5). Kara Braxton scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Ebony Felder chipped in 10 points and 10 rebounds to notch her first career double-double. Jessica Pierce equaled her career-high with 12 points, 10 coming in the second half.
"Points are great, everyone likes to score," Landers said. "When someone goes out and gets 10 rebounds in a game, they have really contributed to the team's success. I'd like to congratulate Kara and Ebony on their performances. Ebony did particularly well on the offensive glass. She's one of the best offensive rebounders we've had in a while, and she's only getting better on the defensive end."
