QUICK KICKS
Senior Day at Turner
Georgia closes its non-conference slate against AAC power USF on Senior Day at Turner Soccer Complex. Sunday's match is the third all-time meeting between the Bulldogs and Bulls, with Georgia holding a 2-0-0 advantage. Prior to the match, graduates Abby Boyan, Ruby Hellstrom, Dani Murguia, Cecily Stoute and senior Mallie McKenzie will be recognized for their careers in Athens.
Outlasting the Ospreys
The Bulldogs are looking to improve from their 1-0 victory over North Florida on Thursday. Mallie McKenzie's 18th-minute goal off an assist from Dasia Torbert proved to be the only scoring of the evening for UGA, who was held in check by a consistent press from UNF. Georgia only tallied four shots on goal, the fewest in a victory since four last season in a 3-1 win over No. 15 Clemson (Sept. 2, 2021)
Touchdown in Kennesaw
Georgia posted one of its most dominant performances in program history last Sunday with a 7-0 win at Kennesaw State. The Bulldogs scored five goals in the first half, the 10th time in program history with 5+ goals in a half and the third-most in a first half. In other record-breaking notes, it tied for the most road goals and road margin of victory in a single match, as well as tying for the most individual goal scorers in a single match (Jacksonville, Oct. 6, 1996). With the win, Georgia improved to 37-1-3 all-time against in-state opponents.
Career Night for McKenzie
After coming off the bench for two consecutive matches, Mallie McKenzie posted a career-best four points at Kennesaw State. McKenzie opened the Bulldogs' scoring in the sixth minute off an assist from Madison Haugen. She then tied her career high with two assists: first, a cross to Joyelle Washington, followed by a service to Dani Murguia. On Thursday against North Florida, she followed it up with the only goal of the night, an 18th-minute score off an assist from Dasia Torbert.
Newcomers Breaking Out
Transfers Joyelle Washington, Dasia Torbert, Alyssa Stadeker, and Ruby Hellstrom turned in strong weekends for Georgia, each posting their first goals as Bulldogs. Washington scored against both Georgia State and Kennesaw State, while also picking up an assist against GSU in setting up Stadeker for her first career score. Torbert tallied her first assist of the season at GSU before scoring for the first time at Kennesaw, while Hellstrom capitalized on a keeper error to earn her first goal of the season at KSU.
Haugen Helping Out
Despite moving to the backline this season, Madison Haugen has established herself as Georgia's top assister this season. Haugen has already tallied four assists in the first six games, nearly matching the five she had last season. Currently, she is tied for sixth in the SEC and 14th nationally in assists.
Dawgs' Defense Coming Up Big
Despite only having 45 minutes of previous experience under her belt, sophomore goalkeeper Liz Beardsley has impressed in her first six career starts. After posting a shutout against Georgia Southern, Beardsley posted a solid performance against No. 1 Florida State, tallying six saves, including an outstanding leaping punch-save in the second half. She then only allowed one goal against Wake Forest before notching shutouts against CofC, Georgia State, and Kennesaw State. The Georgia backline has solidified with the same four players starting in every match so far. The Bulldog defenders have only allowed an average of 6.6 shots per game and 15 total corner kicks, while securing four consecutive shutouts for the first time since 2013.
Graduates Nearing History
With her 28th-minute goal against FSU, graduate forward Dani Murguia notched her second score of the season and 15th of her career. Murguia also reached 50 points in her career, moving closer to the top 10 in program history. With an assist Thursday against Georgia State, Murguia now sits only three behind Weathersbee for the program career record (24) and will look to set a new top mark during the season.
Fellow graduates Abby Boyan and Cecily Stoute are also nearing the top of the program record books. Boyan has now appeared and started in 78 matches, putting her on pace to eventually break the records held by Natalie Farley (88 appearances) and Carrie Patterson (87 starts). She is also now sixth all-time in assists (16) and eighth in shots (168). Murguia (77 appearances) and Stoute (75 apps/starts) are also in line to eventually reach the top of the list as well.
Taming the Panthers
Georgia moved back over .500 with its most complete performance of the season, a 3-0 win at Georgia State on Sept. 1. The Bulldogs controlled possession from the opening moments on, eventually capitalizing with two goals in a 37-second span from Joyelle Washington and Madison Haugen. In the second half, Alyssa Stadeker extended the lead with her first career goal. Georgia's defense continued its strong play, allowing only one corner and two shots, the fewest for a Georgia opponent since Binghamton attempted one on Aug. 25, 2019.

Georgia opens Southeastern Conference play with a road trip to No. 21 Texas A&M on Friday, Sept. 16. The match is scheduled for an 8 p.m. kick and will be streamed on SEC Network+.
