Georgia Notebook

Career Day for Connally

» Gabby Connally’s junior season is off to a strong start following her performance against Kennesaw State on Thursday. It marked the sixth 20-point game of Connally’s career and her second-highest single-game point total since scoring 37 against Texas A&M in 2018. 

Double-Double for Staiti

The Cumming, Ga., native hit 7-of-12 shots from the field in 35 minutes of action, marking the most minutes she has played in a single game in her career. 

Caldwell Clutch at the Buzzer

With time winding down in the third quarter, Caldwell heaved a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Georgia a 14-point advantage. The shot was nothing new for Caldwell, who knocked in a buzzer beater shot for the third time in her career.
