KEY QUOTE
Head Coach Tony Baldwin
On the team this weekend…

"I think hats off to our staff, first. I thought we identified the right people to bring into our locker room and our team environment, and then I give a lot of credit to our returners who have done a really great job of welcoming them in, teaching them what our standards are, and what's important here for Georgia softball while also allowing their personality and the people that they are to kind of shine as well. Really excited about the whole package and looking forward to getting back to work this week."
