She received back-to-back MOP honors at UC Davis and Fresno State. She edged out her opponent by half a point to score the first point of her event against No. 1 Auburn at home.
Georgia concluded its fall schedule with a win against top-ranked Auburn, 11-9.The Bulldogs have defeated the top two teams in the NCEA rankings in Bishop this season, previously beating second-ranked Texas A&M by a tie breaker score of 9 (1676.25)-9 (1659.75).
