Georgia has played two matches in its current five-match home stand which will continue this weekend with the contests against Arkansas and Ole Miss before concluding Oct. 8 against LSU. The Bulldogs dropped the first two matches of home stand to Kentucky and Tennessee last weekend, and the two losses were part of a current five-match losing skid the Bulldogs will look to end this weekend.
In the all-time series Arkansas, the Razorbacks lead 13-4 including wins in the last five meetings with Georgia. Both meetings last year went to the five sets. The first meeting in 2007 came in Fayetteville, where Georgia fell down 2-0 after two sets but rallied to force the fifth set. The second meeting came in Athens with Georgia going up 2-0 but Arkansas coming back to win the next three sets. The Bulldogs last win in the series came in 2004.
In the all-time series with Ole Miss, Georgia leads 35-8. The two teams split last year’s meetings. Georgia won the first meeting in Athens, 3-2, while Ole Miss earned a victory in the second meeting in Oxford, 3-0. Over the last ten meetings, Georgia holds a 7-3 edge.

Lost to Kentucky, 1-3 (19-25, 18-25, 25-14, 19-25)
Lost to Tennessee, 0-3 (19-25, 19-25, 19-25)
Georgia began its five-match home stand with its first Southeastern Conference home match against Kentucky last Friday, falling 3-1 to the Wildcats. The Bulldogs also fell to the Tennessee Lady Volunteers 3-0 last Sunday.
Despite dropping both contests, senior Maria Taylor recorded 24 kills in those two matches to move her onto Georgia’s all-time top-10 list at ninth with 1,535 career kills.
