20 WINS FOR LESESNE
Georgia's home opening shutout against Binghamton marked the 20th win for head coach Billy Lesesne.
SERIES HISTORY AGAINST VIRGINIA TECH
The Bulldogs have faced the Hokies in the beginning of the season the past two years. The series started in Blacksburg in 2017 with the Hokies winning, 1-0. Last year in Athens, the game ended in a 0-0 double overtime tie.
SERIES HISTORY AGAINST MARYLAND
This is the first meeting between the Bulldogs and Terps since 1996. Maryland took home a 4-1 victory.
A SOLID BACKLINE
IN the first two games of the season, Georgia's defense has been strong. In game one at Purdue, the defenders were able to keep the Boilermakers out of the final third for the first 15 minutes of the game and stayed solid throughout. Against Binghamton in game two, the Bulldogs held the Bearcats to one shot in the entire 90-minute match.
HIGH SCORING GAMES
The four goals by the Bulldogs in game two against Binghamton is the third highest goals scored under head coach Billy Lesesne. Georgia defeated Coastal Carolina, 9-1, in 2017 and Charlotte, 5-1, in 2018.
RETURNING TO THE FIELD
After suffering an ACL injury last season, junior Katie Higgins has returned to the field for the Bulldogs, starting the first two games of 2019.
YOU GET A GOAL AND YOU GET A GOAL
