Fast Facts
Graduate Erykah Lovett tallied a career-high 33 kills on her 22nd birthday. She became the first Georgia Bulldog to register 30 kills since Maria Taylor on Sept. 6, 2008 at Duke. Her 33 set a new Georgia rally scoring record, topping Taylor’s mark of 32. Lovett picked up her third double-double, tying a career-high 21 digs.
