WBB: Lady Dawgs Drop SEC Opener To Mississippi State

The Georgia Lady Bulldogs fell short to the No. 14-ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs, 73-66, in a back-and-forth battle Sunday afternoon in Stegeman Coliseum.

Senior Stephanie Paul paced Georgia in both scoring and rebounding, recording 15 and nine respectively. Paul was one board away from recording her fourth-career double-double. Juniors Que Morrison (14) and Gabby Connally (11) joined Paul in double-figure scoring.

“You know we have it [fight],” Georgia Lady Bulldog Head Coach Joni Taylor said. “However, with a game at home that is this close, we have to come away with a win. As proud as I am about our toughness, we need to get over the hump.
