KEY QUOTE: "I'm just so proud of the fight we showed," said head coach Jamie Hunt. "We showed a tremendous amount of fight but just came up a little short. We have to handle our nerves a little better there on five when we're serving it out, but that happens to the best of us. We'll hold our heads high and get ready for a big match on Sunday."

UP NEXT: The Bulldogs remain at home for Sunday's match against No. 14 Texas A&M beginning at 1 p.m. E.T. Georgia will celebrate Senior Day and festivities begin at 12:30 p.m. E.T.
