Georgia Continues SEC Action

GAME NOTES

ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia soccer (4-3-2, 1-0 SEC) continues Southeastern Conference action at home against Missouri on Thursday, September 20, before traveling to College Station for its first SEC road contest against No. 2 Texas A&M on Sunday, September 23. Both games are scheduled to start at 7 p.m. EST.

Earlier this week, freshman goalkeeper Emory Wegener was named SEC Freshman of the week after Georgia defeated Arkansas, 3-1, in the SEC opener. The Johns Creek native registered five saves in her first conference game as a Bulldog and was a few minutes shy of a shutout due to a penalty kick opportunity. She has started all nine games for Georgia, leads the SEC with 44 saves and has earned three shutouts.
