As usual, there is no margin for error at this time of the season. We’ll have to practice hard in the coming days and come into this event extremely focused.” [su_spacer size=”40″] The Bulldogs were invited to an NCAA Regional for the 26th time in 27 years since the format was introduced for the 1989 season. In the previous 25 years, Georgia has advanced to the NCAAs 19 times. The Bulldogs have been invited to an NCAA Regional in all 19 of Haack’s seasons and have moved onto the NCAAs in 16 of the previous 18 campaigns. Haack led the Bulldogs to the 1999 and 2005 national titles and to runner-up finishes in 2007 and 2011.
