Georgia Southern concludes nonconference play with 81-38 loss to UGA

Junior guard Amira Atwater scored two points and had two steals in a losing effort to the University of Georgia.

The Georgia Southern women’s basketball team came into Friday’s game against the University of Georgia having won three in a row, averaging 67 points per game. That streak was halted as the Eagles fell 81-38 to the Bulldogs in Stegeman Coliseum.

GS hadn’t beaten UGA since 1981, which meant 21 straight losses to their in-state foe from Athens. Junior captain Alexis Brown knew it was going to be an uphill battle from the get go.
