ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball sophomore guard Dani Carnegie has been tabbed the Southeastern Conference Co-Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.
Carnegie led the Lady Bulldogs to an 82-59 win against No. 16 Ole Miss, marking the program's largest margin of victory against a ranked opponent in 20 seasons. The Mount Vernon, N.Y., native scored a career-high 32 points and brought down a career-best 11 rebounds against the Rebels.
With her double-double performance, Carnegie became the first Georgia player since All-SEC center Jenna Staiti in 2021 to reach the 30-point mark, posting the highest point total for a Lady Bulldog in a single game since Gabby Connally in 2017 (nine seasons). Carnegie hit a career-high 65 percent from the floor, knocking in an impressive 11of-17 shots. She also made a game-high five 3-pointers and hauled down 11 rebounds in the win.
Carnegie leads the SEC with 56 made 3-pointers and a 43 percent effort from behind the arc for the year. She also ranks eighth in the conference in scoring with 18.3 ppg.
Georgia is currently 16-3 overall on the season and heads to Fayetteville, Ark., on Thursday to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks at 7:30 p.m. ET.
