About Georgia...
Georgia opens SEC play with a three-match shutout streak, dating back to its Sept. 21, 1-0 win, against Stanford. The Bulldogs shutout Liberty, 8-0, and Georgia Southern, 3-0, in last weekend's UGA/Nike Tournament. Georgia's defense held Liberty to two shots, Friday, and limited Georgia Southern to just three shots, Sunday. Freshman defender Marilee Eback anchored that defense and was named the UGA/Nike Tournament's Defensive MVP. Bulldogs' forward Jessica Winton broke a school record with four goals and nine points in Friday's win against Liberty that saw the Georgia offense post a season-best eight goals. Winton also scored the game-winner--her season's fifth-- against Georgia Southern, Sunday. Winton, the UGA/Nike Tournament's Offensive MVP, leads Georgia with 11 goals and 24 points this season.
