Let's Recap
Georgia saw its five-match win streak snapped Wednesday, falling to 20th-ranked Kentucky in straight sets at home (25-27, 23-25, 21-25). Kacie Evans put up 20 kills in three sets with a .425 hitting percentage. She fell just short of a double-double, registering nine digs to co-lead the team. As a team, Georgia hit .302 against Kentucky. On the defensive side of the ball, sophomore libero Bailey Cox co-led with Evans with nine digs. Junior Sophie Fischer put up five blocks against her former team while senior Meghan Froemming added four. Georgia out blocked the Wildcats 8-5 in the match. The closely fought match featured 30 ties and the lead changed 14 times.

Fischer Earns Fourth SEC Weekly Award
For the fourth time in 2022, junior Sophie Fisher was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 31. Fischer continued her strong season at the net at Missouri, putting up 16 total blocks, averaging 2.00 per set. She began the series with 10 in five sets against the Tigers then put up six in Saturday's sweep at Hearnes Center. The last Bulldog to earn four SEC weekly awards was teammate Kacie Evans in 2019 when she picked up six weekly accolades from the league. Prior to Fischer, no Bulldog had been named Defensive Player of the Week more than once in a season.

Aces Wild
Georgia has consistently had strong serving since Tom Black's arrival in Athens and 2022 has been no difference. Nationally, Georgia's 1.8 aces per set ranks 28th while checking in at second in the SEC. Georgia had a great series at the service line against Auburn, acing the Tigers 21 times in nine sets.

Evans is Killing it
Kacie Evans' 4.09 kills per set ranks 35th in the country and second in the SEC. She's third in the conference with a 4.81 points per set average, a clip that currently ranks 27th in the country. Evans tallied 20 kills in three sets against No. 11 Florida and No. 20 Kentucky.

The Great Wall of Fischer
Sophie Fischer has propelled herself toward the top of the country ranking fourth and the top of the SEC with 1.56 blocks per set. Her 129 total blocks also leads the SEC. As a team, Georgia's 2.62 blocks per set ranks second in the SEC. Georgia's block defense has helped hold opponents to a .181 hitting clip, second best in the league. Offensively, Fischer's .340 hitting percentage is seventh in the SEC.
