QUICK KICKS
Series History
Thursday's match is the ninth all-time meeting between Georgia and Missouri, with the Tigers holding a 5-2-1 series advantage. Both teams have won two matches apiece in Columbia, with Georgia taking the most recent meeting, 5-1, on Sept. 29, 2019.
Looking for a Bounce Back
Georgia looks to bounce back Thursday with a road date at Missouri, following a difficult 4-1 loss to Arkansas on Sunday. Although senior midfielder Abby Boyan tallied her fifth goal of the season in defeat, the Bulldogs could not overcome three Razorback goals in the first eight minutes of play. The loss was also the first match this season in which Georgia attempted fewer than 10 shots.
Finally in Divisional Play
Thursday's match is Georgia's first against an SEC East divisional opponent, following four contests against West opponents (Auburn, Mississippi State, LSU, Arkansas). The Bulldogs are the only SEC team to have not played a divisional game this season. This is also the latest date for a divisional opener since Georgia hosted Kentucky on Oct. 1, 2010.
Number Nine, Number Nine
With a win tonight, Georgia would clinch its most wins in a season during the Billy Lesesne era, as well as guarantee at least a .500 finish.
Belisle's Career Year
Graduate forward Mollie Belisle continued her outstanding season with her game-winning goal in overtime at No. 5 LSU on Sept. 26. Currently, Belisle ranks second nationally with 12 goals and fourth in points with 25. Through 12 matches, Belisle has already set a new career high for scores in a season and is now tied for eighth in school history with 23 career goals. She is also the first player to score 10+ goals in a season Marion Crowder notched 11 in 2013.
Nation's Top Trio
Powered by one of the nation's top scorers, the trio of graduate forward Mollie Belisle (12), senior midfielder Dani Murguia (7), and freshman forward Danielle Lewin (7) rank first nationally among trios with 26 total goals, three ahead of second-place Arizona State.
Putting Up Numbers
Through 12 matches, the Georgia attack ranks third in the nation and first in the SEC with 38 goals, surpassing the 18 scored all last season. The Bulldogs ranked first for two weeks until South Alabama moved into the top spot following a 15-0 win over Alcorn State. With 3.17 goals per match, the scoring offense ranks eighth nationally.
Murguia Nearing History
With an assist against Arkansas, senior midfielder Dani Murguia upped her season total to nine, ranking fourth nationally and second in the SEC. Murguia's total is currently the third-most in a season for a Georgia player, only two behind the record 11 posted by Suzannah Weathersbee in 1996.
Ranking Report
Following last week's loss against Arkansas, Georgia remained at No. 6 in the United Soccer Coaches (USC) Southeast Region rankings and did not receive any votes for the national poll. The Bulldogs checked in at No. 49 in the newest RPI rankings released Monday, the seventh-highest rated team in the SEC.
