Erykah Lovett (18 kills, 14 digs) and Bianna Muoneke (13 kills, 12 digs) each tallied double-doubles while also leading the team offensively. MK Patten tipped the double-digit kill mark for the first time in her career, tallying 11 in the match. The Bulldogs combined for nine service aces, led by Brower (4) and Lovett (3).
 
A Look at What's Ahead
Georgia begins a four-match road stretch beginning Wednesday, Nov. 6 at Missouri. First serve in Columbia is slated for 8 p.m., ET, live on SEC Network. Georgia has a short break from competition before hitting the road for Knoxville on Nov. 15.
 
Entering the Final Stretch of 2024
Entering the month of November, the Bulldogs have just eight matches remaining in the regular season. Georgia currently sits at 60 in the RPI; however, the Bulldogs' upcoming schedule features five opponents in the top 50 and three inside the top 25 (Kentucky, Texas A&M, Missouri), giving Georgia opportunities for big wins to build its NCAA Tournament resume. Georgia is looking to earn a bid to its third straight NCAA Tournament, an accomplishment the Bulldogs have not achieved since 1993-95.
 
8,376 Pack Stegeman for Georgia State Record
The University of Georgia welcomed 8,736 Bulldog faithful to Stegeman Coliseum on Friday, Oct. 11. The number not only shattered the program attendance record, but also set a new mark for an NCAA volleyball match in the state of Georgia, topping the previous mark of 5,303 set by Georgia Tech in 2023. Georgia defeat South Carolina in a five-set thriller.
 
Aces Wild
The Bulldogs are among the top serving teams in the league, ranking third with 1.78 aces per set and third in the SEC with 139 total service aces. Erykah Lovett ranks sixth in the league with 0.38 aces per set. Georgia has topped 10 aces in a match three times in 2024. Georgia set a program record with 19 service aces against Washington on Sept. 7. The new mark topped the previous record of 17 set in 2017.
