» In the team's last outing against UNCG, Lady Bulldog freshman Mia Woolfolk returned following a nine-game absence due to injury. Woolfolk scored 15 points off an efficient 7-of-10 shooting effort. Earlier this year, Woolfolk led all Georgia rookies with 18 points and 13 rebounds in her debut against NC Central. It marked just the third time in program history a freshman has recorded a double-double in her debut. Janet Harris in 1981 and Christi Thomas in 2000 are the only other two to accomplish that feat.

» Senior guard De'Mauri Flournoy turned in the best performance of her career in Georgia's last game against UNCG. Flournoy scored a career-high 21 points, knocking in 8-of-12 from the field. Thirteen of her 21 points came in the third quarter.

» Following these next two games in San Diego, Georgia will break for Christmas, before returning home to host Ohio on Dec. 28 in the final non-conference contest of the year.

Georgia Inks Back-to Back Top Classes

The Lady Bulldogs have signed top-20 classes in each of the last two recruiting cycles, with the No.18-ranked recruiting class in 2025 and the No. 16-ranked class in 2024. The 2025 group features Aubrey Beckham (Dacula, Georgia) -- a five-star, top-50 prospect and No. 2-ranked player in the state by ESPN. Jocelyn Faison (Atlanta) -- ranked No. 76 nationally No. 4 in Georgia by 247Sports.com. Zhen Craft (Waldorf, Maryland) and Megan Yarnevich (Ellicott City, Maryland) -- two four-star products from Maryland and Harissoum Coulibaly -- a talented guard from Paris, France.

Georgia's current freshman class ranked No. 16 nationally by ESPN.com in the final 2024 recruiting rankings. The Lady Bulldogs signed four ESPN top-100 players in a group that included guards Indya and Summer Davis (ranked No. 67 and 96, respectively), Trinity Turner (No. 74) and forward Mia Woolfolk (No. 71). Georgia's 2024 class ranked fifth best in the Southeastern Conference as the Lady Bulldogs were the only SEC program to ink four players all ranked in the ESPN top-100.

Summer Draws Three-Straight Starts Georgia freshman guard Summer Davis has drawn starts in each of the last three games. She scored 11 points and dished out a pair of assists against Virginia Tech. Davis leads the team with a 48 percent clip from 3-point range this season.

What a Debut for the Freshmen

Georgia started a pair of freshmen in the season opener, marking the first time since 1997 that the Lady Bulldogs started two frehmen in a season opener (Kelly and Coco Miller). The five freshmen that played against North Carolina Central accounted for 60 of the team's 96 points.

Year Three for ABE and Staff

The 2024-25 season marks head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson's third year at Georgia. Coach ABE owns a career 412-192 (.685) record over her 20 seasons overall, during which her teams have won an impressive 16 conference championships. This current Georgia staff has been with her nearly every step of the way. Associate head coach Tahnee Balerio and assistant coaches Isoken Uzamere, Nykesha Sales and Ebone Henry-Harris have combined to work with Coach ABE for a total of 42 seasons.

Double Trouble Dawgs

Indya and Summer Davis, twin sisters from Detroit, Mich., join a long line of twins to play for the Lady Bulldogs. Indya and Summer are the fourth pair to suit up for Georgia women's basketball, joining Camille and Miriam Lowe (1990-93), Kelly and Coco Miller (1998-01) and Kara and Kim Braxton (2002-04). Kelly and Coco were both named All-Americans by the WBB Journal during their careers at Georgia, while Kara Braxton earned All-America status from Full Court Press back in 2002.

Trilingual Makolo

Makolo is fluent in three languages, including English, French and Lingala (a regional language of the Congo). Makolo was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and lived there until she moved to Canada at six years old.

Turner Succeeds at Highest Level

Freshman guard Trinity Turner led Dr. Phillips High School to three straight Class 7A state titles during her prep days. For her efforts, she was a three-time Florida Dairy Farmers Class 7A Player of the Year and the 2023 Orlando Sentinel Player of the Year. During the 2024 season, Turner led her team in points, rebounds, steals, blocks and assists.

First Verse for Georgia's Fifth Freshman

Arizona native Miyah Verse has seen the first action of her collegiate career after earning a redshirt last year. Verse played high school for national powerhouse Arizona Elite Prep and Mountain Ridge High School in Peoria, Ariz. The four-star prospect was ranked in ESPN's Super 60, which ranks the top 60 recruits nationally.

Verse's brother Jared is a rookie linebacker for the NFL's Los Angeles Rams. The former Florida State standout was a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, going to the Rams with the 19th overall selection.

Woolfolk Gives Georgia Needed Post Depth

Freshman forward Mia Woolfolk gives the Lady Bulldogs another post option this season. The 2024 MaxPreps Virginia Player of the Year led Manchester High School to a 27-2 record and a state title in Virginia's Class 6A.

A Winning Tradition

Georgia women's basketball stands among the most elite programs in the SEC and the country. The Lady Bulldogs rank second in SEC history and 19th nationally with 1,079 all-time wins – one of just four league teams to reach the 1,000-victory mark (Tennessee, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina). Georgia also ranks second, only behind Tennessee, in total conference victories (344) and third, behind Tennessee and South Carolina, with seven league championships.

Dawg Nation Shows Up to Set New Mark

During Georgia's game game against LSU last year, 7,406 fans packed Stegeman Coliseum. It marked the largest crowd for a Georgia home game since 2012 (10,523 vs. Tennessee), spanning 11 seasons. It was Georgia's first crowd over 7,000 since the 2019 Elementary School Day Game against UCLA.

TV Time

Georgia has played in two of the most watched games in history during the last two years. Last season's nail-biter against Iowa in the NCAA tournament was the most watched NCAA first and second round game in women's basketball history. This season's contest against South Carolina drew the largest TV audience for a women's basketball game on ABC this year.

Stealing the Show

Georgia led the SEC in steals in Coach ABE's first season with 10.5 per game back in 2022-23. It marked the 10th time in 13 years that Coach ABE's teams led their respective conference in steals. It was also the first occasion since the 2005-06 season – a span of 17 years – that Georgia led the SEC in steals.

Before taking the head coaching job at Georgia, Coach ABE's UCF squad led the nation in scoring defense for two straight years from 2020-22.
