» Thursday is Georgia's Mental Health Matters Game, bringing attention to the importance of mental health support and resources.
» Georgia is 5-0 for the first time since Coach ABE's inaugural season with the Lady Bulldogs back in 2022-23. North Florida enters with a 1-3 overall record.
» While still early, the Lady Bulldogs rank ninth nationally and third in the SEC in scoring defense, holding opponents to 46.6 ppg.
» Georgia held its first four opponents below the 50-point mark -- the first time in program history the Lady Bulldogs have held four consecutive teams below 50 points. Jacksonville State scored 51 to break Georgia's streak.
» Georgia's lineup features a bevy of scoring options, led by sophomore guard Dani Carnegie, who averages 17.0 ppg. Mia Woolfolk, Trinity Turner and Rylie Theuerkauf also average double figures.
» Carnegie currently leads the SEC and is ranked seventh nationally with 16 made 3-pointers this season.

The Lady Bulldogs have put together stout defensive performances in each of their first five games. Georgia held Alabama State to 44 points -- the fewest points by a UGA opponent in a season- opener in seven seasons. The Lady Bulldogs then held Furman to a 23 percent shooting effort -- the lowest shooting percentage for a Georgia foe since Coach ABE's first season in 2022-23 (Nov. 13, 2022 vs. Jacksonville State).
Offensively, balanced scoring has been key in each of the first five games. Nine of the available 10 Georgia players scored at least a point in against Alabama State and Furman, while all 10 scored against South Carolina State. Ten of 11 players scored against Jacksonville State.
Coach ABE is entering her 21st season overall as head coach and fourth year at Georgia. She has led her teams to a remarkable 16 conference titles and 12 NCAA tournament bids in stops at Missouri State, Albany, UCF and Georgia. Overall, Coach ABE's teams have compiled a 424-206 record.
Georgia signed impressive transfer portal and freshman classes in 2025. UGA's transfer portal class was ranked as high as No. 5 nationally (247sports.com) and the freshman class was ranked No. 18 nationally (by ESPN). The Lady Bulldogs are one of three SEC teams, joining Tennessee and LSU, to rank in the top-5 in the transfer portal and top-20 in freshman class rankings.
The Lady Bulldogs' five transfers include Dani Carnegie (Georgia Tech), Enjulina Gonzalez (Miami Ohio), Rylie Theuerkauf (Wake Forest), Aicha Ndour (Wichita State) and Vera Ojenuwa (Arkansas). This year's freshman class includes Jocelyn Faison (Atlanta).
Georgia was the only conference team to have two SEC All-Freshman Team selections (Mia Woolfolk and Trinity Turner) last season, and both return this year. With 12.2 ppg, Turner was the first Georgia freshman to finish as the team's leading scorer in a season since 2004 SEC and National Freshman of the Year Tasha Humphrey. Woolfolk finished the 2025 regular season on a tear, scoring in double figures in all three games, including a 20-point effort in the win at No. 11 Tennessee.
Among Georgia's nine players with college experience (including returners and transfers), five averaged double-figure scoring margins last year. Gonzalez (16.9 ppg at Miami Ohio) leads all returning scorers, including Carnegie (12.9 ppg at Georgia Tech), Theuerkauf (12.0 ppg at Wake Forest), Turner (12.2 ppg at Georgia) and Woolfolk (11.0 ppg at Georgia).
This year's roster features three players who led their team's in scoring last year. Turner was Georgia's leading scorer, Gonazlez paced Miami (Ohio) and Theuerkauf led all scorers at Wake Forest.
Among five portal additions is 2025 ACC Sixth Woman of the Year and five-time ACC Rookie of the Week Dani Carnegie from Georgia Tech. Ranked No. 10 overall on ESPN's list for top transfer for 2025-26, Carnegie led her team in 3-pointers made and was seventh in the ACC with 66 total 3-pointers last year. Carnegie moved to the state of Georgia at age 12 from New York and finished her prep career at Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga.
The Lady Bulldogs inked Arkansas' leading rebounder in Vera Ojenuwa, who averaged 6.2 board per game last season. Georgia also added 6-foot-6 center Aicha Ndour from Wichita State.
Georgia signed Wake Forest's leading scorer Rylie Theuerkauf in this year's transfer portal class. The incoming junior and native of Tenafly, N.J., led the Demon Deacons with 12 ppg, improving her scoring by 8 ppg compared to her freshman campaign. She finished last season by hitting double figures in scoring in 11 of her final 12 games.
Coach ABE preaches family and culture, and it shows in the longevity of her staff. Associate Head Coach Tahnee Balerio and assistants Isoken Uzamere, Nykesha Sales and Ebone Henry-Harris have been with Coach ABE a combined 43 seasons!
Georgia welcomes back All-SEC guard Diamond Battles, who now serves as a graduate assistant. Battles was one of just three SEC players to rank in the top 15 in scoring, assists and steals during the 2022-23 season.
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 1,089 all-time wins – one of just six league teams to reach the 1,000-victory mark (Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina, Auburn and Texas). Georgia is tied for second in total conference victories (344) and third, behind Tennessee and South Carolina, with seven league championships.
This year marks the 30-year anniversary of two of the greatest teams in Georgia history across all sports.
The Lady Bulldogs went on a remarkable run during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons. Both squads reached the Final Four, with the Lady Bulldogs finishing national runner-up in 1996.
La'Keshia Frett, Tracy Henderson, Saudia Roundtree, Kedra Holland and Tiffany Walker guided the 1994-95 team to a 28-5 overall record en route to the Final Four. A year later, the 1996 squad became the first team in the program's storied history to win the SEC regular season title and earn a trip to the Final Four.
