Georgia improves to 13-5 on the season and 5-3 in SEC play with its fifth-straight victory.

KEY QUOTES
Head coach Tom Black
On the overall thoughts for today’s match…
“Super hard-fought match, a lot of grit. I thought there were massive ebbs and flows throughout the match, but the ladies pulled it together. I thought Bianna Muoneke’s competitive will was amazing, so I’m super proud of the girls.”
On Bianna Muoneke’s performance…
“[Bianna Muoneke] just fought like crazy, and she just wasn’t going to die. She had some major, big-time swings for us. That really set the tone. She just made sure we were going to find a way through, so I’m super proud of her.”

On her new career high in kills…
“It’s really exciting, but I could not have done it without Chloe [Elarton] and Kaiya [Tyson]. They put me in a good spot the entire time. Even [Makena Lim] and everyone who was out of system setting put me in great spots. I would not be half the player I am now because of my team. They make me want to play hard every day. Having games like this are always fun, but my teammates make it more.”

Georgia is back on the road next weekend for a pair of matches. First, the Bulldogs travel to Nashville, Tennessee, to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores on Friday at 8 p.m. ET. It’s then on to Columbia, Missouri for a showdown with the Missouri Tigers on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.
