Athens, Ga. --- The No. 5-ranked Georgia Lady Bulldogs will host EA Sports All-Stars, a squad of former collegiate standouts, in their second and final exhibition of the pre-season on Sunday afternoon at Stegeman Coliseum at 2:30 p.m. There will be no charge for admission.
The Lady Dogs defeated Augusta State 105-43 in their first exhibition on Tuesday night. National Player of the Year candidate Tasha Humphrey led Georgia with 27 points in just 22 minutes of action. The Lady Bulldogs also received double-digit scoring outputs from Megan Darrah (19 points), Desire Bostice (14), Sherill Baker (12) and Danielle Taylor (11).
The victory did come at a cost, however. Freshman Angel Robinson tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee less than two minutes after checking into the game early in the first half and will miss the season while recovering.
"We continue to have a need to adjust to playing without Angel and this is our last exhibition before the season opener," head coach Andy Landers said. "I'd like to establish a rotation that allows us to move Megan from the post out to the wing. That is very important. Hopefully, we'll also diversify our offense a little bit. I thought we were somewhat one dimensional in our halfcourt offense in the first exhibition."
