Dawgs Dominate Tech

Georgia owns a commanding 38-10 lead in the all-time series against its rival Georgia Tech. Sunday's win against the Yellow Jackets marked an historical performance. The Lady Bulldogs' 28-point margin was the widest margin in the series since 1994, and the 87 points scored were Georgia's most against the Yellow Jackets since 1999. Georgia's win marked the program's first victory over Tech in Athens since 2017.

Carnegie One of SEC's Elite Scorers

With 18.6 ppg, Sophomore guard Dani Carnegie currently ranks fifth among all SEC players in scoring. Carnegie has reached double figures in every game and has scored 20 points or more three times this season. She is a perfect 12-for-12 from the free-throw line and shoots 49 percent from 3-point range.

Record Half Against Furman

The Lady Bulldogs scored 56 points against Furman, marking the most points in any half for a Georgia team since the year 2000. Carnegie hit five 3-pointers and was one of five players in double figures against the Paladins.

Finding Balance

Georgia's roster features 11 available players so far this season. Of those 11, at least three or more have scored in double figures in every contest. Five players have scored in double figures in five of seven games.

Craft Shining

Typically one of the first players off the bench, Georgia freshman Zhen Craft has been a bright spot for the Lady Bulldogs. She is fourth on the team in rebounding and is the team's leading scorer outside of four starters. Craft averages 7.4 points and 4.3 boards per game.

Dawgs Dominant In Opener

Georgia held Alabama State to 44 points -- the fewest points by a UGA opponent in a season-opener in seven seasons. The Lady Bulldogs forced 28 ASU turnovers and held them to 33 percent shooting.

Transfer, Freshmen Classes Rank Among Nation's Best

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).

Scoring Options All Around

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.

Highly-Ranked "Portal Get" Carnegie Joins Lady Bulldogs

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.

Theuerkauf A Top Target

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.

Georgia Family

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!

Battles is Back

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.

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 1,093 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.

'95, '96 Teams Celebrate 30 Year Anniversary 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.
