Monday's Opponent: Georgia

This Season: Georgia is coming off a 196.050-195.700 win over Auburn on Friday night. This is the fourth meet of the season for the Gym Dogs after losing its season-opener to Oklahoma (195.425-196.450) and winning its second meet at Arkansas (196.200-195.775).


 

 

Last Meeting: Stanford last saw Georgia in 2010 when it traveled to Athens, Ga. for its season-opener, losing to the then top-ranked and defending national champion Gym Dogs by just one-tenth of a point (195.050-195.150).

Senior All-American Ashley Morgan made her collegiate debut in the meet with an impressive performance, finishing second on vault (9.875) and balance beam (9.850), and third on floor exercise (9.825).

Stanford's most recent victory over the Gym Dogs was in the 2004 NCAA team preliminaries at UCLA. It will be the 21st meeting all-time between the two programs with Georgia leading the series 18-1-1.
