Â
BRUSTER, CHAPMAN EARN ALL-SEC HONORSÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Junior defender Kayla Bruster and freshman forward Chloe Chapman have garnered All-Southeastern Conference accolades.
Â
Bruster is a first team All-SEC at-large selection and Chapman earned a spot on the SEC All-Freshman team.
Â
As a defender, Bruster played a pivotal role in the Bulldogs' seven shutouts and five- game unbeaten streak to end the regular season. The Atlanta native logged 1386 minutes as a starter in 16 games, 10 of which she played to full time. She also took three shots on the season.
Â
Chapman earned the honors after leading the Bulldogs with six goals as a rookie. The Mitchellville, Maryland native was named SEC Freshman of the Week after scoring two goals on the road at Missouri. She also notched Georgia's lone goal in a draw at then-No. 6 Arkansas. Chapman attempted 23 total shots with 13 on target and will take the court with the Lady Bulldogs basketball team this season as well.

HALEY SORRELL NAMED SEC FRESHMAN OF THE WEEKÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
After scoring the lone goal in a win over Florida, Georgia forward Haley Sorrell has been named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week to conclude the regular season.
Â
The Bulldogs and Gators remained scoreless in the Halloween match until 90 seconds left in the game when Sorrell booted the ball to the back right corner of the net off an assist from sophomore midfielder Abby Boyan for the game-winner.
Â
The win snapped a 12-game losing streak against the Gators, dating back to 2008 and punched the team's ticket to the 2019 Southeastern Conference Tournament in Orange Beach, Alabama.

Georgia extended its unbeaten streak to five games with win over Florida. a 1-1 double overtime draw at No. 6 Arkansas at Razorback.Â
Â
Georgia defeated Ole Miss and Mississippi State, before playing to a tie against Kentucky and No. 6 Arkansas, and finishing the season against Florida.
