Carnegie One of SEC's Elite Scorers

Sophomore guard Dani Carnegie leads Georgia and is sixth in the SEC in scoring with 18.5 ppg. She is third in the conference in 3-pointers made (75). Carnegie has recorded 23 double digit games, 12 20+ point games and three double doubles.

Carnegie's 32 point effort against Ole Miss marked the first time a Georgia player reached 30-point the mark since 2021 and eight-best single-game total by an individual player in program history. The Mount Vernon, NY native turned around and scored 31 points against Arkansas the next game. She is the first Lady Bulldog to accomplish that feat since Katrina McClain back in 1987.

Theuerkauf is a Top Target

Junior guard Rylie Theuerkauf is in an impressive five-game stretch. She has scored in double figures in six consecutive games, averaging a team-best 17.1 points per contest. Theuerkauf set a new Georgia career high with 26 points at Mississippi State this past Thursday.

Turner and Woolfolk Continue to Contribute

2025 All-Freshmen Team selections, sophomore guard Trinity Turner and sophomore forward Mia Woolfolk continue to make an impact for Georgia all over the floor.

Both Turner and Woolfolk are averaging double figures with about 12 points a piece. Turner leads the team in both assists and steals, dishing out an average of five assists per game, while swiping two steals per game. Woolfolk's defensive presence has been just as impactful, as she ranks second on the team in rebounding at 5.4 boards per game and third in steals, averaging 1.4 per contest.

Lady Bulldogs Down a Trio of Top-20 Opponents

On Sunday the Lady Bulldogs defeated No. 5 Vanderbilt 76-74, marking the highest ranked win in Stegeman since 2010. Georgia defeated No.16 Ole Miss 82-59 on Alumni weekend. The 23-point victory marks the highest win margin against a ranked opponent in 20 seasons. Six days later, the Lady Bulldogs turned around and took down No. 11 Kentucky 72-67 in Lexington, marking the first time Georgia has downed a pair of ranked opponents within a week since 2011.

Georgia Tops Texas A&M in Overtime Thriller

Trailing 37-22 at halftime, the Lady Bulldogs rallied to outscore the Aggies 32-17 in the second half to force overtime. Georgia held the Aggies to a 0-for-24 shooting effort in the 4th and overtime.

Theuerkauf is a Top Target

Junior guard Rylie Theuerkauf has established herself as a scoring threat. Theuerkauf ranks second on the team 3-pint FGM with 43, shooting over 40 percent from behind the arc.

Perfect in Nonconference Play

The Lady Bulldogs finished nonconference play undefeated for only the fifth occasion in program history. Georgia's 14-0 record marked the best start for the team since the 2009-10 season.

Dawgs Dominate Tech

Georgia owns a commanding 38-10 lead in the all-time series against its rival Georgia Tech. This year's win against the Yellow Jackets marked a significant 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.

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.

Transfer, Freshmen Classes Rank Among Nation's Best

Georgia signed an 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).

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.

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 1,106 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 (345) 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.
