Block Party In Athens
The Bulldogs have ranked in the top 10 nationally in blocks per set since week three of the season, following the Classic City Clash (Sept. 4-5). Georgia currently ranks fifth in the country and second in the SEC with 3.04 blocks per set. Middle blocker Kendal Kemp ranks 10th in the country with 1.53 blocks per set. As a team, Georgia has tallied 10 or more blocks in 10 of 14 matches this season.
 
Road Warriors
Five of Georgia’s first six SEC matches are on the road. That’s the most of any SEC team through the first six conference matches. The Bulldogs hosted No. 2 Texas in their lone match at Stegeman between Sept. 14 against FIU and Oct. 17 when Alabama comes to Athens. Reversely, Georgia will get to play on its home court in six of its final nine matches beginning Oct. 17.
 
10K Day Set for Oct. 17 at The Steg
10K Day at Georgia Volleyball is set for Oct. 17 when the Bulldogs host Alabama at Stegeman Coliseum. Georgia set a program record and state NCAA volleyball attendance record of 8,376 fans at last season’s 10K Day on Oct. 11, 2024. The Bulldogs will look to break both records again this season against the Crimson Tide. Fans are encouraged to WEAR BLACK to the match. The first 1,000 fans will receive a free black t-shirt commemorating 10K Day. The first 1,000 University of Georgia students will receive a free t-shirt and free food. The first 30 fans to enter through Gate A will sit courtside and will receive free food. More prizes and giveaways will be announced soon.
 
Dawgs Take Down Yellow Jackets
The Georgia Bulldogs defeated No. 23 Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Sept. 19 in a five-set thriller. It was the second-straight time Georgia has beaten a ranked Georgia Tech in Atlanta. It was a team effort as Bianna Muoneke and Estelle Haugen each picked up double-doubles. Adriana Rhoda and Kendal Kemp each tallied season-highs in kills and Tori Harper and Chloe Elarton recorded season highs at the service line.
 
Lim Has Breakout Performance
Redshirt-sophomore libero Makena Lim had a breakout performance against Presbyterian on Sept. 12. She put up a career-high 24 digs, the first 20-dig match of her career. It was two digs shy of tying the three-set digs record of 26 and is now tied for second-most all-time in a three-set match at Georgia. Along with her 24 digs, Lim posted the first double-double of her career, dishing out 12 assists. She is the first libero in the Tom Black era to record a double-double.
