The Bulldogs are now 16-1 overall and have a record of 8-1 against top-25 teams this season.
Georgia dropped their second doubles point of the season after No. 3 Katarina Jokic and Ariana Arseneault were defeated by Georgie Axon and Adeline Flach 6-2 on court one and Elena Christofi and Morgan Coppoc fell in a tie breaker set on court two to Selin Ovunc and Carolyn Ansari, 7-6(5).

Coming down to singles, No. 59 Ma continued her dominating stretch defeating No. 100 Chen 6-4, 6-2 on court two. No. 12 Kowalski suffered only her second dual match loss of her career, falling to Ansari on court three 6-1, 6-4 but No. 61 Coppoc kept the momentum shifting towards the Dawgs with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Axon on court four. No. 1 Jokic went up against No. 62 Ovunc on court one and took her down 6-4, 6-4 with only two courts remaining. With both Bulldogs winning their first set, it would be Christofi who would clinch the match for Georgia winning 6-3, 6-2 over Astakhova on court six.
