Statement Win for Dawgs
Georgia earned its greatest win in recent program history with a 3-1 victory over No. 15 Clemson Thursday evening. The win was the first over the Tigers since 2009 and was the first over a ranked opponent since 2015.

Belisle is the Best
With her third two-goal match of the season, graduate forward Mollie Belisle moved into a tie for the national lead with 7, knotting her with Zsani Kajan of St. John's.
