Historically, Texas A&M leads the series against Georgia with a record of 7-5-0 since joining the SEC in 2012. Nine of their matches have been decided by a single goal. However, Georgia has won the last four encounters, including two during SEC Tournament play.
The Bulldogs currently hold a 3-3-5 overall record and are 0-1-3 in SEC matchups, earning three points so far from draws against Arkansas, LSU, and No. 2 Vanderbilt, with their only conference loss being a 3-1 defeat to Oklahoma. Emma Peterson leads Georgia with nine points from three goals and three assists, while Honoka Hamano has four goals. The team's defensive performance will be vital as they seek their first SEC victory.
